OK, thanks for clarifying. BTW I did not submit a request multiple
times, if you see plenty of request for me in the queue then something
is wrong.

Also being hosting quite a few multi-thousand lists: Sending out even
the exact same mail a couple of thousand times at a high rate
doesn't yet mark you as a spammer, this is also true of the large
lists @redhat.com. Although I highly appreciate any act of caution
these days!
