Anyone here, also on the v4l list. The other night it appeared it was under
attack for some time, then everything stopped. No more mail. A couple of
emails popped into the v4l box the next day, but since then absoulutely
nothing.

The video4linux list got into a loop with some kind of misconfigured
site. The local admins shut the list down when this happened and I don't
know if they've yet managed to isolate the loop and restart it.
