RE: External Message: [PHP-DEV] What's up with emails?

I had an email to the list bounce due to SpamCop adding a sizeable portion of Outlook's IP space into a block (as they've been erroneously doing for 25 years now). Emailed systems@php.net about it, never heard back. I'm also receiving next-to-no list traffic and receiving similar bounce messages as what is shown below. -Jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Landers <landers.robert@gmail.com> > Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2024 8:53 AM > To: internals <internals@lists.php.net> > Subject: External Message: [PHP-DEV] What's up with emails? > > I have noticed quite a number of emails appearing on externals but not > appearing in my inbox.
