As most here know already (sorry for spamming the list with the test message!), I was unable to post to the list for a while. But I have now been able to post three times and, as the Bellman said, "What I tell you three times is true": the problem[1] is solved[2]. I owe a debt of gratitude to Mikael Fornius, who not only groped through the list logs looking for possible problems, but also pointed out a header that looked funny to him. Upon further investigation, a fix to this header started the flow again. Mikael, thanks for saving my sanity[3]. Also, thanks to Karl Berry who went looking through email logs at gnu.org looking for the problem. It felt pretty lonely out there for a while, so please allow me to express my hearfelt thanks to Mikael and Karl who came to my rescue[4]. Thanks very much! Nick - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] The theory is that at some point around the middle of February, gnu.org's exim server started enforcing a Sender Verification test. See http://www.mail-archive.com/newbie@linux-mandrake.com/msg172919.html for some details. I don't know if the theory is correct, but the fix - changing my postfix configuration to make sure that the Sender: header contains an email address that the gnu.org server can test successfully - seems to work in any case. [2] Famous last words... [3] OTOH, my "friends" say that that is a non-existent entity - I beg to differ, but as they emphasize, that proves their point... [4] ... or, as many volunteers have heard before: "You did such a good job that you deserve to have your salary doubled." :-) ------- End of Forwarded Message
