What's going on with Slackware store+

On Dec 25 2014 I ordered a bottle opener but I still didn't get it. I sent 2 e-mails to info@store.slackware.com and got this:

I just ordered something today and got the confirmation quite promptly. We'll see whether it arrives . . . .

Hi,

I'm the sys admin of that mail server. It's running OpenBSD spamd for greylisting.
It looks like the MTA on gateway06.websitewelcome.com gave up trying before
getting whitelisted:

I've added all the IP addresses from SPF records of your email domain
to the PF firewall. Sorry for the inconvinience, please try again.

This is exactly why I disagree with ambiguous filtering and blacklist/whitelist/greylisting. I'm a mail admin and the most I'll use is zen.spamhaus.net blacklisting, since it is quite fair. Many of my users complain about the amount of SPAM, but personally I think any amount of SPAM is better than not receiving all HAM.

Even SPF is extreme and unescessary in my opinion. Now if only we could get all mail system admins to use a PTR record!

My purchase arrived in good order by US Mail today.

It was the "Get Slack" tee shirt. I decided I wanted a Slackware tee shirt that wasn't black, as my other three tee shirts and polo shirts are.

Should the link to the Slackware Store be more prominent on the front page, and listed in the left menu? It is a bit hard to spot now.

You are not the first one to make this suggestion.
