[osgeo4w-dev] NOTICE: Hotmail and Live account email is bounced

[Matt Wilkie]

Hi Folks,

Something Hamish over in the osgeo sys-admin mailing list sugggests 
which I think is relevant here too (urls changed for ours):

    /Until Hotmail get this sorted out I don't think there's too much point/
    /in trying to resubscribe since it will just happen again. For now I'd/
    /suggest to follow the mailing list on Nabble or Gmane, or try/
    /subscribing using another email provider./

    /sorry for the inconvenience./
