        There are now two things running.
        - Post individual messages to *all* subscribers
          (to find misbehaving autoresponder(s))
        - Do that with MX verifier -- turning on a flag
          forcing also successes to be reported to the people.

        The uninteded double-reports are due to me having the script
        running in two instances for a moment. I thought I SIGTERMed
        the first one immediately when it showed a nuisance detail in
        online monitoring feature, but alas, things were not so.

        In the future the MX verifier will report only cases with
        problems to the users who are likely to encounter them.
