For some reason (while I was away from network), GMX.NET servers have decided that vger.kernel.org is mail-bombing recipients.
There are some 30-40 recipients of linux-kernel list at GMX.NET, and there are (varying) 100-300 emails per day for each of them.

I forwarded to you, and all other GMX.NET domain subscribers the letter I have already sent to postmaster@gmx.net -- but you (as their customers) may have more weight that an external nobody, like myself...
Most common troubles that users have are: - "Relaying denied" (in its many forms --> http://vger.kernel.org/mxverify.html ) - "Mailbox full" (these lists are of HIGH VOLUME!) - DNS-lookup/connection timed out for 4+ days
Then come various weird things, like overzealous reg-expr message content filters, broken MTA configurations (don't people ever test that their changes do work ?), etc...
