Hi Yury.

I'm using these two Windows ports of mc:

and

Kind Regards,

NB

Please can something be done about the spam blocker that gnome uses,
because I cannot send any mail to the mc at gnome.org list from my local
machine. Here is the bounced messages I keep on getting:

The following message to <mc at gnome.org> was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:
5.1.0 - Unknown address error 554-'5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host
[212.50.160.34] blocked using dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net; IP 212.50.160.34 is
UCEPROTECT-Level 1 listed. See

This mail was sent to the list from my horde webmail account, which is
a bit awkward when I can just hit reply from my localhost machine!

Kind Regards,

Keith
