Til only wrote to me, but it looked like he wanted to write to the group (but
simply dropped the CC) so I replied to the list.

That said, I also cannot mail to til as I get this from my ISP (and
smtp.comcast.net is the smarthost I have to use)

  til at subnetz.org
    SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<til at subnetz.org>:

:) 

Why not?  I think it is not in Debian right. Pick up the pieces, I think I
found them via Google. If you don;t get them I can scrape them off my box.

Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.
