Mail not being received from bugzilla.gnome.org

[Paul Smith <paul mad-scientist net>]

The SMTP MTA configuration on the bugzilla.gnome.org server is
incorrectly configured, such that various other MTAs will not accept
mail from it.  One such "other MTA" is the one associated with my
bugzilla account, eggs.gnu.org (the FSF's mail server).  As such, I'm
not getting any email about any of my Bugzilla bugs from
bugzilla.gnome.org... this has caused me to miss lots of important
updates and not respond in a timely fashion to requests for information,
etc.

There was a bug filed about this a few months ago (I filed one before
that but this one, from David Woodhouse, actually contains useful
information, unlike my bug :-)):

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621198

This shows that the bugzilla.gnome.org MTA is misconfigured and not
behaving properly.

However this bug has been closed as RESOLVED WONTFIX without much
comment except:

The benefit, of course, is that people who report bugs to bugzilla and
whose MTAs attempt to use address verification to reduce spam will be
able to receive email updates and notifications about their bugs, unlike
today.

I suppose I'm biased, but that seems like more than a little benefit.

What is the right way to move forward with this and get a resolution
that enables all bugzilla.gnome.org email to be properly delivered?

Cheers!
