That's just plain bad system administration on their part. If they're moving the server and the user database is not complete, they should turn off sendmail or disconnect the ethernet so anyone who tries to send them mail will get a fail but the mail will be queued up and as long as they finish the conversion in a day that should get you your mail since almost every server will retry for more than a day to send mail, approx every 4 hours.
It would be nice to be able to search for answers that have already been posted to questions. This could cut down on repetition. I also have a problem managing the large amount of mail that I get. Being on mailing lists, especially ones as busy as this, causes my mail management problem to increase greatly.
You should try procmail if you haven't already, it's almost required if you're going to do mailing lists subscribing.
As far as spammers go, kill 'em! Well, perhaps we could have a closed news

As long as they have SparcStations (Ultras, anyone?) I have enough PC equipment ;) John Weekley -- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
