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...
