Hi Vino, Great thanks for your help.
> So if someone reports that they can't receive the email from Apache mail server, they can provide more detailed information to the QQ mailbox to facilitate the location problem. I just got one feedback. A user(173855...@qq.com) report that he can't receive the emails from the Chinese-speaking mailing list. He had subscripted successfully on 2019-05-10. Everything goes well until 2019-05-10 and no more emails come again from the mailing list.
