[Savannah-hackers] Re: [gnu.org #209247] read-only mailing-lists at lists.gnu.org

[Sylvain Beucler]

I think the problem came from our list configuration files, that used
the old 'mail.gnu.org' URL. I suppose that Mailman cookies didn't like
that and caused any modification to be refused. Things should be ok
now. I asked the 'wesnoth' administrator to check whether everything
is fine.
