Hell.  Sorry.  It isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened
to me, and that's only the ones I know about.  I guess I should try to
suck mail directly from GNU rather than just keeping a copy there for
a while.  I'll check whether there's a useful copy left @gnu now.

[Perhaps it makes up for gnu.org bouncing mail to me which didn't have
reverse DNS :-/.]

I'll do my best, but it's not easy, despite the bad PR.  Back in the
good old days I'd have been told to fix it myself...
