Help please,

I've been trying to subscribe to this list using vim-dev-...@vim.org but my emails cannot be delivered:

"The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect. Learn more at https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7720 [jail.42.org. 46.41.23.236: FAILED_PRECONDITION: connect error (111): Connection refused]"

I couldn't find any other way of reporting this so I'm using the newsgroup.

The E-Mail address mss...@gmail.com is already subscriber of vim-dev
mailinglist since October 28, 2018, but it was set to no-email. I have
now manually changed it back to receive every email.

Note, this might have happened, because Google could not deliver to your
email address, so this may happen again (and this is what the message
above tries to tell you). I am not sure there is anything we can do to
fix this, it may need to be fixed by jail.42.org admin.


Best,
Christian

Thanks for your reply.  In my above email, I left out some information, thinking it was not important.  Let me correct that. 
When I sent a request-to-subscribe email to vim-dev-...@vim.org, the full reply I got reads:

" Message not delivered
There was a problem delivering your message to vim-dev-...@vim.org. See the technical details below."

followed by:

' The response was:
The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect. Learn more at https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7720 [jail.42.org. 46.41.23.236: FAILED_PRECONDITION: connect error (111): Connection refused]"

This says to me that the problem is at the vim.org end. 

There's more to this story but I'm reluctant to use the newsgroup to tell-all.  Perhaps we could continue this "offline" in some fashion?

Sorry to be a bother!
