Follow-up Comment #23, sr #106478 (project administration):
First -- no need to send anything to sysadmin, Sylvain already did that
yesterday with CC to you.
Second -- the link Sylvain gave in comment #17 is pretty descriptive.
Before accepting the message, lists.gnu.org does this SMTP callback to ensure
that the sender really exists. Let me try to emulate this in a live session.
I'm connecting from my workstation at work to my mailserver at home:
$ telnet yavor.doganov.org 25
Trying 213.91.245.92...
Connected to yavor.doganov.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 yavor.doganov.org ESMTP Exim 4.69 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:11:54 +0300
ehlo southway-varna.com
250-yavor.doganov.org Hello bow.southway-varna.com [213.91.219.2]

221 yavor.doganov.org closing connection

So if I change my Savannah email address to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and try
to commit, the notification message will get rejected in the same manner like
yours (although with a different error). If I change it to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- this is a real address, and the callback returns
success, so I guess there won't be any problems.
Now let's do the same thing with you:
$ telnet mx.pittle.org 25
Trying 65.254.254.51...
Connected to mx.pittle.org.

I don't know what that means, as my knowledge about DNS is very poor (and so
is for SMTP). lists.gnu.org uses Exim as most of the GNU servers, and I
believe this particular feature is described at
info "(exim4)Callout verification"
Hope that helps identifying and solving the problem.
