[Savannah-help-public] [sr #106478] After committed to www project's (www.gnu.org) webpages repo, a commit message won't be sent on www-commits mailing list

Follow-up Comment #25, sr #106478 (project administration):

Your mail server rejects bounces, i.e. it cannot handle mail from the null
envelope sender address.  Look how there is no problem here:

$ telnet mx.pittle.org 25

This also explains why you don't get a bounce that your commits cannot be
delivered to www-commits -- you were clueless and didn't know the reason; if
your mail service had accepted the bounces, you would know at least the error
code/reason.
