One issue, I'm not sure if its the only one, is that due to a bug in our
version of mailman, we are breaking dkim signatures in replies and that
causes bounces when those replies are from from domains with a strct
dmarc policy. I'm working on upgrading mailman on lists.gnu.org in order
to fix this. Then I will investigate further and see if there is
anything else that needs to be done and continue to upgrade and improve
our email systems.

Thank you to everyone who has had the patience to deal with this. I hope
to have it fixed soon. I can't say exactly when as the FSF tech team
tends to get randomized by urgent issues that come up and I'm not sure
how much work its going to be. Are people here interested in me posting
a progress update next week?

If any of you are especially experienced with exim or mailman and
interested in helping, perhaps by answering a question on irc if I run
into trouble, email me.
