I am subscribed as fbdev@axion.demon.nl and I send the mail as kernel@axion.demon.nl, after which I recieved a huge amount of '"Redmond"-so- called-update-worm-and-patches' etc, etc mails to my kernel@axion.demon.nl, has anyone else experienced this after sending with a non subscribed mail adress ?

( using the matroxfb driver ). After updating to linux-2.6.0-test8 this problem got solved, now the console only scrolls extremely slow under mentioned circumstances.
