"linux.act" definitely sounds like a mail gateway from
linux-activists, and "newbie" and "normal" are linux-activist
channels, but I didn't raelize there were that many channels. At any
rate, sure, it'd be nice to carry them.
("linux.act" is a stupid way to set up a hierarchy, but oh well. And
"linux.new-tty"? Is that like "/afs/sipb/project/news/new"?)
