I'm getting "Mail Delivery Status Notification (Delay)" with this kind= of error: [Status: Error, Address: , ResponseCode 421, Host not re= achable.]=20 In a previous message that Florian responded to (https://lists.gnu.org/arch= ive/html/help-guix/2019-05/msg00116.html), I added a bit more information a= bout the problem. I also reported a bug that has been delayed as well. In summary, most of the time, when I start the machine (a real machine), "G= NOME Setting =E2=86=92 Sound" shows a "Dummy output" as the output device, = not the real device. Only once, I started the machine and sound worked fine= , both in desktop applications and in the IceCat browser. GNOME even displa= yed information when I plugged some headphones and "GNOME Setting =E2=86=92= Sound" displayed the real device and headphones as output devices (no "Dum= my output" any more). That time, I started the machine with the headphones = unplugged. So I thought that could be related to the problem, but then I tr= ied to reproduce it and couldn't. And I lost sound again.
