This could be the case, all of the subscribers use the mx machine. But on the other hand, my cvs commits all succeed in mail sent to www- comm...@gnu.org, not a single mail gets discarded, and they all pass through mx and eggs.gnu.org. > Second is a question.

So, it's probable that mx machine filters are too restrictive. > You are listed as the owner for the www-hr-lista mailing list. Are > you receiving the moderator messages for those missing emails?

The one that failed in delivery and it's not in the archive is: <1369385456.645...@00-1d-72-0b-97-8c.sx76x.gigaset.net> The successful (just one of the many) is: <1369368639.195...@00-1d-72-0b-97-8c.sx76x.gigaset.net> > Question: What is the significance of "lista" in the name?

Or is > that a single one-off name unique to that list? So, "lista" is Croatian for "list" and www-hr is the name of the translation project - www-hr-lista is, I think, a logical name given to the list created for the translation purposes. I would like to preserve the name, since it's written in the PO files my project produced. It's a name unique to this list. > I see www-hr-lista in the tracking log.

So I assume it was connected to listhelper and > that you have just removed it. That is a good action. Yes, I did. I will see what happens next. I did not receive a complaint since that change.
