Hoi, I am registered to the list, I could send mail using my thunderbird application. Now I cannot. I can send mail through the webmail facility of gmail.
Can you elaborate on this? Some details would help:
- What's the ISP you're sending through that doesn't work?
I am using gmail with pop support
- What's the email address?
gerard.meijssen@gmail.com
- What's the hostname of the mail server?
pop.gmail.com
- What exactly happens?
I push the send button and I get a message saying "an error has occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: you are not allowed to send mail to wikitech-l@wikimedia.org Please verify that your mail adress is correct in your mail preferences & try again"
- Are your mails rejected?
Yes
- Any bounce messages?
See above
- Are your messages accepted but queued for moderation?
No
- Do they vanish without trace?
They do not progress any further
- Can you provide a sample message that you tried to send? (Including
headers and any automated response if possible.)
I will try to send this one as a reply .. That does not work, however I can send a reply from within the webmail client. Now the thing is I have always been able to send mail through my Thunderbird installation. It is only since a couple of days that I have problems both with Wikitech and Foundation.
I use several mail accounts and the only thing I can think off is that my IP-number was blocked as I have used the wrong account to send stuff to the mailinglist. If this is so, there must be a way to unblock such an IP-number.
What makes you think this? Did someone tell it to you? What IP address? Where was it blocked, by whom?

The e-mail adress is the one I am sending this from
