We have received word from it-austria.com that their antivirus software has been
adjusted, and it-austria's members have been restored to the nvl list. Although
we
have precedence:bulk in our config file for the nvl list, it is not being sent.
We
are investigating this problem.
Thank you all for your suggestions and patient understanding during this
incident.
