I believe a message of mine also got dropped.  The subject was "Dodgy
ranges in .marks files, and: Return of the disappearing unread marks."
I sent it on 20 March, and the from address I used was
"gs234-ding@srcf.ucam.org".

When I realised that the message wasn't getting through, I went to
<http://gnus.org/resources.html> (the only helpful google hit for the
search term "ding mailing list") to look for a list owner, but there's
no one listed, so I pretty much gave up and resolved to just post
without the "-ding" suffix in the future.

I think it would be good if a note about moderation was added to that
page, along with a means to contact the list owner.

Thanks,
