-Since a little while Verizon is blocking email from Britain, France, Germany and Russia.  According to the company this is due to spam - even though the USA are clear leader in global spam.  Anyway, if you're a Verizon user don't mail us about this problem.  It's Verizon's fault and we don't do anything to workaround this problem and frankly we couldn't care less than about an ISP patronizing it's customers this way.

 Note linux-mips.org is using the [http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3168.html Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)] TCP extension as described in RFC 3168.  The bug is known for years yet still defective firewalls that are dropping TCP SYN packets with ECN bits set are in use.  If you can reach linux-mips.org yet don't receive any email from any of the linux-mips.org mailing lists you may have this problem.
