Avi, would you please forward this to the mailing list?  Thanks.

The mailing list server that the Elektra list uses is configured to use a
blacklist:

 <reg...@li...>: host
   mail.sourceforge.net[66.35.250.206]
     said: 550-"rejected because your SMTP server, 66.109.229.7, is in the
     Spamcop RBL. 550 See http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml for more
 information."

I support attempts to fight spam, but blacklists are an indiscriminant,
antisocial overreaction.  While my opinion about blacklists may not be
important, what this effectively means is that I won't be reading or posting
to the mailing list any more.  Therefore, if you need to request write access
to the repository, or have any questions about the Ruby Elektra binding, you
must email me directly.

Thanks.  What follows is the posting that I was responding to when spamcop
decided to blacklist my ISP.

Yeah, I haven't updated the bindings in a while.  I'll try to fix that
tonight.
