I'm afraid it's futile:  mail.zope.org and mail.python.org are the
same physical machine, and it's on its knees fighting floods of spam,
viruses, and bounces from spam and viruses forged to appear as if they
had been sent from a python.org or zope.org address.  The load average
was 70 last week, but the sheer mass of junk mail actually makes it
I/O-bound.  The good news is that nobody has time to work on it
<wink>.
