Correction: the Mailman exact setting was ("no mail: B")

Hi Seth,
My apologies for the delay in my response, I was still sleeping when you
sent this message.
Frank and I manage the -users and -dev lists.
I was also affected by this problem: I believe that my email address is
blocked from all OSGeo lists currently.
Background: this happened when SAC switched mail server hosts, and OSGeo
was blacklisted when the IP addresses changed. I first saw mention of
this in December through https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/sac/2025-
December/016916.html
I have now checked MapServer-users and MapServer-dev, and there was only
one address blocked ("no reason: B"). I removed that now.
I am also an admin of gdal-dev, and that list is a whole different
story, as there are hundreds of addresses with that problem. Of course,
it is hard to know if that is a valid block due to bounces, or was it
due to this mail server switch. In any case, I went through the gdal-
dev subscriber list this morning and removed those blocked addresses.
(I will now send out test messages, and hopefully catch & remove the
bounces email addresses sent back to me)
Sorry for the hassle, but, put plainly: my address is also now blocked
from all OSGeo lists due to that episode, I hope that SAC tackles this,
through a batch update for all OSGeo mailing lists.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I stopped receiving email from the gdal-dev mailing list on December
5th last year. I also missed several mapserver-users posts for around
a week at the same time (although this restarted).
It appears some subscribers were blocked without warning / notice and
had to be manually unblocked - see https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/
ticket/3506#ticket
I'm wondering if the same has happened to anyone on the mapserver-
users and mapserver-dev (not that they'll get this email if they
have..)? I'm not sure who has admin access to check. I'll also request
access from OSGeo SAC so I can check myself.
