The forum server is currently having trouble emailing to addresses at Yahoo! Mail due to very aggressive spam filtering on Yahoo!'s end. This is affecting both forum registrations and topic update notifications and many such emails are bouncing. I am attempting to add Sender Permitted From (SPF) records to virtualdub.org in order to mitigate this problem, but in the meantime there are some things you can do.
I've had to change the mailing address of the forum slightly -- make sure forums (a_t) virtualdub.org is in your spam whitelist. Also, if you're using Yahoo! Mail, please make sure forum notifications are not flagged as spam! Whenever people start doing this, the Yahoo! server starts bouncing lots of email with 4.16.56.1 errors and it's a pain to deal with.

Recently i was thinking that maybe the only way to stop spamming once and forever is to assign email adresses to every human being on the planet when he is born, and store them all in an 'eternal white list'  ....

Except that I've also seen a significant amount of spam from manual means as well. I've modified this forum's registration page so that it is non-standard, and I still occasionally see people create accounts and post link spam. The only way this could have happened is for a human to actually read the page and deliberately create an account to spam, most likely due to a slimy affiliate program. So, no, whitelisting all humans is not going to work....
