Thanks for looking into this, David! But I don't see kernelci.orgbot referenced anywhere in the emails. E.g. in the one that was linked above: https://groups.google.com/forum/message/raw?msg=syzkaller-bugs/OkwLGoS6UQA/hHAtCdnNBgAJ Which one do you mean? syzbot takes emails from get_maintainers.pl, I guess kernelci.orgbot is not usually there. And syzbot does not includes names, just email addresses. Could a dot in email address produce the same result? E.g. To: foo....@something.com ? I see such addresses in some of the emails (but not in the one referenced above). Is it possible to revive autoans...@vger.kernel.org? It would hopefully allow us to debug this without bothering you. Possibly related, when I am searching for "syzkaller" I am finding entries like the following titled "This message generated a parse failure. Raw output follows here. Please use 'back' to navigate.". https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/10/73 https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/27/581 https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/22/774 Could this "parse failure" explain the undelivered emails? How can I figure out what exactly caused the failure? Thanks again
