[ewg] Dropped OpenFabrics list messages (!)

The anti-spam measures on the OF lists are frustrating.  Spam is  
getting through and valid messages are being dropped.  Can we please  
change the policy of the OF lists to, at the very least, whitelist  
some e-mail addresses and/or domains?  I would be in favor of a only- 
subscribers-can-post policy (which completely eliminates the spam  
problem), but I understand that there are some strong religious  
feelings from others against such a policy.

I have sent multiple e-mails to the ewg list that have inexplicably  
been dropped recently (including just a few minutes ago).  I know  
that the same thing has happened to Tziporet, too.

- Oct 22: I sent a teleconference announcement at 8:25am US Eastern  
that never  arrived.  I re-sent the message at 9:33am US Eastern and  
it was delivered properly.

- Oct 24: I sent an Outlook invite at 8:59am US Eastern that never  
arrived.
- Oct 24: I sent a 2nd (different) Outlook invite at 9:01am US  
Eastern that never arrived.

I'm *guessing* that these messages were not delivered because of anti- 
spam measures on the OpenFabrics lists.  Can you confirm / deny?  If  
I'm wrong and the problem is on my end, please let me know.

Per http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/ewg/2007-October/ 
004753.html, I have 4 more Outlook meeting invites to send, but I  
don't want to send them now for fear that they'll either not arrive  
or will be even more confusing because the first 2 did not arrive.

Specifically: the ewg mailing list is currently unreliable.  This is  
very frustrating.  :-(
