Please, anyone setting their contact adress to point at gcc.gnu.org, test that it works to send email from somewhere else than gcc.gnu.org, from an adress with a domain setting SPF records. No MX between gcc.gnu.org and your final destination must bounce due to SPF records, as mail forwarded from gcc.gnu.org will be rewritten to seem to originate from gcc.gnu.org. That is, if the sender is whoe...@example.com and the sender domain has SPF records (if "dig txt example.com" would show a line with "v=spf1"), they likely won't include gcc.gnu.org as a valid server so the email may bounce. To wit, some people won't be able to reach you unless it works to send from a SPF-enabled domain (preferably with a default rule ending in "-all" rather than ?all") to your @gcc.gnu.org. Or just don't use your @gcc.gnu.org address as a point-of-contact, it's not a supported setup, AFAICT. brgds, H-P PS. and please don't mix up sender and receiver in follow-ups. :)
