These following blog messages about the lists had interesting
information about the recent mail problems.  Things were broken.

  https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=4322

Summary: Due to various problems (hardware and software changes) the
MTA on lists.gnu.org melted down with 1.6 million messages in the mail
queue and needed significant manual tending to get back on track
again.  The mailing lists were pretty much non-functional for a while.
Fortunately things seem to be working again.
