[I think this bit the dust because of the same problem: I forgot
to update a setting. 2nd attempt.]

Subject: [OT] Thanks!
As most here know already (sorry for spamming the list with the test
message!), I was unable to post to the list for a while. But I have now
been able to post three times and, as the Bellman said, "What I tell you
three times is true": the problem[1] is solved[2].
I owe a debt of gratitude to Mikael Fornius, who not only groped through
the list logs looking for possible problems, but also pointed out a
header that looked funny to him. Upon further investigation, a fix to
this header started the flow again. Mikael, thanks for saving my
sanity[3]. Also, thanks to Karl Berry who went looking through email
logs at gnu.org looking for the problem.
It felt pretty lonely out there for a while, so please allow me to express
my hearfelt thanks to Mikael and Karl who came to my rescue[4].
Thanks very much!
Nick

[1] The theory is that at some point around the middle of February,
gnu.org's exim server started enforcing a Sender Verification
test. See
http://www.mail-archive.com/newbie@linux-mandrake.com/msg172919.html
for some details. I don't know if the theory is correct, but the fix
- changing my postfix configuration to make sure that the Sender:
header contains an email address that the gnu.org server can test
successfully - seems to work in any case.
[2] Famous last words...
[3] OTOH, my "friends" say that that is a non-existent entity - I beg
to differ, but as they emphasize, that proves their point...
[4] ... or, as many volunteers have heard before: "You did such a good
job that you deserve to have your salary doubled." :-)
