Right. However, it is the sender - "julian at winax.org" that is the key. 
This is a subscriber to HECnet, and is why the post went through. I 
can't count the number of posts that do not get through. It's not that 
the hecnet mailinglist address is secret. It's pretty well known address 
and list. But it's kept in pretty short reins.
