Subject: Mailing list backlog cleared
Message-ID: <874od6847a.fsf@qurzaw.linpro.no>


Hi all,

as you might have noticed, a lot of the varnish lists just got a whole
lot of old mail sent to them.  Due to a misconfiguration on the mailing
list server for varnish-cache.org as well as a bit of forgetfulness we
have failed to process messages held for moderation for the last six
months or so.  I'm really sorry about that, and I've taken steps to
ensure that this doesn't happen again.

Regards,
