Hi Wolfgang, I think you and I are probably the tip of the iceberg. I wouldn't doubt that many potentially excellent sources of LyX information for the community have just given up. Who knows, some of these people might have the skills of Herbert Voss or Dekl Tsur or JMarc, and we're blowing them off. If the problem gets more widespread I wouldn't be surprised to see a competing LyX list start.
This problem has been known since at least 10/4/2007, and for whatever reason it's remained unsolved. I even researched the guy in charge of WIERDLMPC.MSCI.MEMPHIS.EDU, sent him the symptom description (a couple weeks after JMarc sent him a message), but he didn't favor me with so much as a reply. There comes a time when one must admit that life's too short to continue with an email host not responsive to problems, even if the hosting is free. We should thank our host for his previous support, and then switch email hosts -- free if possible, paid otherwise. If 100 of us contribute a dollar apiece (I'll give a dollar), the list can get decent commercial hosting for a year.
