Adding more relay servers naturally :)
We will talk privately about it.

However most need I have for *.de, and *.uk exploders to
get them out of nic.funet.fi.
(To give long queues to those top-level domains to be somebody
else's headache, especially as I can't reach some *.de domains
at all, because ALTERNET doesn't peer with NORDUnet/ICPNET
about them... well, I can just guess about the reasons, but
the fact is, that I can't reach netsurf.de, dinoco.de,
teuto.de, storz.de, taz.de, aworld.de, osn.de, rmc.de,
nacamar.de, ... Well, perhaps all of them are not of
ALTERNET customers, some go via DGIX -- if you know the
networks.)

.. wait a minute, perhaps my complaints to ALTERNET have
helped, now I can reach netsurf.de, nacamar.de, rmc.de,
and perhaps most of the others too. storz.de is not
ALTERNET customer, though.

Too bad I already deleted those users from the lists.
(Yes, I am trigger happy -- if I start getting timeout reports,
that is, message has been undeliverable for 3 days (3*24h),
I will mercilessly delete such recipients. In this case
I tried to be lenient, and tolerated it for a week, but
apparently I didn't wait long enough for the ALTERNET to
fix whatever was wrong. A few more hours might have done
saved those recipients. No word from ALTERNET helpdesk,
though.. not even an email reception acknowledge.)
