Thanks for the fix!
Happy to chat about what devtools could do better here to avoid future
problems.
We try to find out why submissions got blocked. I guess devtools tried
multiple times to open some webpage that was shut down and then the
corresponding IP got auto blocked for too many connections within a time
frame (which is why I get blocked by WU Vienna few times a year). We
hope to get feedback from the sysadmins soon.
Best,
Uwe

It seems some people tried to submit with devtools during the CRAN
vacations while the submission webpage was deactivated.
Not sure what devtools does, but it seems some partial submission was
possible that way (just incomplete) and that may have caused a pattern
that lead to the IP block.
At least we had some reports about the above mentioned szenario. The
sysadmin team tries to resolve this.
Perhaps simply send your IP to [email protected]
for a quick solution.
Best,
Uwe
