IETF tools list issues (was: Errata)

Hi, something with the IETF Tools list doesn't work.

GMaNe used to be subscribed as whatever <at> gmane.org,
and that worked at least until 2008-07-08:
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.tools/1109/raw>

GMaNe identified this mail injected via GMaNe as spam.
That's kind of odd, if it's really spam, why forward

| X-Spam-Report: 5.5 points;
| * -0.0 SPF_HELO_PASS SPF: HELO matches SPF record
| * -0.0 SPF_PASS SPF: sender matches SPF record
| *  2.5 UNIQUE_WORDS BODY: Message body has many words used only once
| *  0.4 DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE RBL: Envelope sender in abuse.rfc-ignorant.org
| *  1.4 DNS_FROM_RFC_POST RBL: Envelope sender in postmaster.rfc-ignorant.org
| *  1.2 PRIORITY_NO_NAME Message has priority, but no X-Mailer/User-Agent

Unfortunately the IETF is listed as postmaster and
abuse ignorant since 2008-02-22, I didn't know that.

When posting via GMaNe the UA is a "Newsreader", and
it has a X-Newsreader, as "specified" in the NetNews
RFC (actually as "deprecated", and this RFC is still
waiting for its number, but that's another story. :-)

I've reported this "spam" as "unspam" while checking
something else:
