The problem occured when we reorganized the mailing lists.

I set savannah-reports-private as a bounce address, forgetting that
this would silently reject all mails sent to the mailing lists.

To avoid such issue in the future, it would be IMHO clearer, and more
accurate to add Savannah's IP(s) in a white list instead of using an
exception list.
