/idgames Maintainers email distribution list issue?

[Phobus]

I'm not sure where best to put this, so hopefully this gets seen!

 

Basically, when sending an email to the /idgames maintainers email address just now, I got an automated response as follows (I've redacted the hell out of the email addresses and IPs in the returned message - mods, do redact further if necessary):

Am I right in saying this just means Bloodshedder's address is no longer receiving emails, but the rest of the distribution list is OK and therefore maintenance will continue as before? If so, it might be worth updating the distribution list, as this didn't happen a few days ago with my last upload.

I have the same issue all the time, I've assumed it's that whatever the idgames e-mailer is using doesn't like Tutanota, but maybe it's a bigger problem than that.  If you send your reply directly to the Bloodshedder's e-mail that it shows in the error it should go through.

Had the same problem when uploading my WAD. Needed the email confirmation, because it was my first idgames upload. Just talked to Bloodshedder on Discord real quick and he confirmed my email adress.
