Although I don't know the cause of Tony's problems, when I tried to get an automated email sent from the listserver just now, Gmail automatically transferred them into the "social" category so that they weren't visible, which initially led me to assume that they weren't making it through. Some email services treat automated email as spam, or (as Gmail now does), hides it by automatically putting it into something other than the inbox. It would be tricky to diagnose any problems from here, but the problems could have been technical, rather than deliberate.
