Let me take this moment to suggest that anyone here having trouble with 
mail getting through to gnustep-dev use GMANE instead. It's a very 
lovely way to keep abreast of the GNUstep mailing lists (and many, many 
other mailing lists as well)

simply set your newsreader (I use Thunderbird) to news.gmane.org and 
subscribe to any of the following newsfeeds:
gmane.comp.lib.gnustep.general
gmane.comp.lib.gnustep.devel
gmane.comp.lib.gnustep.user
gmane.comp.lib.gnustep.webmasters
gmane.comp.lib.gnustep.bugs
gmane.comp.lib.gnustep.announce
gmane.comp.lib.gnustep.applications

The first time you send a message via GMANE, it sends an e-mail to the 
address you have configured to use as your from: address in your post, 
and asks you to verify your e-mail address via a simple reply one time 
per mailing list that you post to. It never asks you to do so after this.

The mailing list sync-delay to the GMANE lists is vastly exaggerated. It 
is not very long at all; don't let uninformed individuals claim otherwise.
