Hello David, thank you very much for your immediate reply!
Ralf Engelschall (of "mod_rewrite" fame, among other famous projects) uses a very strict spamfilter on his machine (on which I get my emails to s...@engelschall.com), in which even Google mail is blacklisted as a spammer (can you imagine)! That's probably why your email was rejected. For the same reason I have already changed the email address in all of my modules and on CPAN from s...@engelschall.com to st...@cpan.org. The latter forwards all emails to s...@engelschall.com, but this works because cpan.org is not blacklisted as a spammer (yet?!). And anyhow, in this way I can easily change the email address st...@cpan.orgis forwarding to, in case of need, without the users even needing to know. The two reports from me which actually show on the server are the following: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/10/msg5520288.html http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/10/msg5525770.html My configuration (perl -V) was also in the attachment "CPAN-Testers.tar.gz" in my previous email. As is a list of test reports ("reports-sent.db" from CPAN::Reporter) which were definitely sent. BTW, I am aware of the time lag between sending a report and the moment it is reflected on the server. But my reports are now over a week old, and still nothing (I checked again today)! Interestingly, I found my name among the statistics on the server: http://stats.cpantesters.org/mtesters.html (search for "kabelfoon" in the table and you'll find me) So it seems that the server does indeed know me (and the email address < sbe...@kabelfoon.nl> I am sending my test reports from, which is from my provider, which provides me with the SMTP-server necessary to send the reports). This apparent contradiction mystifies me! But yes, maybe the black hole on www.perl.org caused my reports to be dropped. That would explain it. Since this black hole is now supposedly fixed, I will try to re-run some builds tonight, and we'll see what happens! In any case, thanks a lot for your support!
