We think we have a partial (and hopefully temporary) solution to the bugs email blockage: ipv6 has been turned off on bugs, so it is sending only from the ipv4 address. Google appears to be accepting the emails again. However, the IPV4 address has a poor reputation, and Verizon at least appears to be blocking it. So more work is still needed. Switching back to Google from Verizon. How is bugs email sent differently from list email? What the latter does works fine, at least for gmail.

bugs.python.org is currently sending notification emails directly to recipients, rather than routing them via the outbound SMTP server on mail.python.org.

Reconfiguring it to relay notifications via the main outgoing server is the longer term fix, but an initial attempt at enabling that resulted in errors in the bugs.python.org mail logs, so David reverted to the direct email configuration for the time being.

Cheers, Nick.
