Re: Fwd: [Savannah-hackers] Mailman problem?

[Elfyn McBratney]

Hello,

Is there a problem with my mail reaching any of you?

Same as below: this is still a problem and the longer this is left the
more urgent it becomes.  If you don't have the time to fix/look at this
please could I be given access to mail.gnu.org so I can sort this out
myself?

Thanks,
