Expect a stream of "old" posts

Due to a misconfiguration(?) in the mailing list spam filter that was exposed by the loss of the mailing lists, I discovered a large number of posts (greater than 10, less than 300 ;-) that bounced back to the mailing list owner and then got spam-trapped as "admin posts to list". After a preliminary automatic filtering that whittled down the 725 messages in that box to 275, I'm going to have to vette the rest manually, I'm afraid. From an initial sample, I know that there's plenty of both spam and ham in there. This probably means that for 7-10 days to come a few posts per day will trickle out with "Date" headers between August 28 (when the system crashed) and October 12 (when the lists generally got reinstalled). Please consider this "normal for these abnormal circumstances." In the process I discovered a further misconfiguration in the current setup, which caused patches generated by patcher.el and submitted to the XEmacs Patches to disappear into the ether. (There's code in the spam filter to short-circuit patcher patches direct to the mailing list, which failed to get retargeted to the new mailman host.) This is now fixed, but if you submitted such a patch between 10/10 and 10/17, please resubmit. I suspect that they bounced back to list owner, as described above, but won't know until I've checked those 300 messages. I'll take care of avoiding the duplicate. I apologize for the confusion.
