nic.funet.fi is but one of the exploders for the various linux lists (Our
domain explodes for Africa and a couple of other countries). Actually the
traffic on the various lists is rather horrendous and instead of having poor
vger resend every mail posted to each relevant subscriber, it sends a
mailheader-modified message to various exploders around the world to
distribute on its behalf.
