... Thanks for private e-mails sent first by Pascal Chevrel
and later by Judah Richardson; they were both received
fine with no issue whatsoever!

 I've spent the last 2 hours troubleshooting my "nightly-testers"
list issue and hit rock despite :-(

 My steps included unsubscribing completely from the list,
rebooting laptop twice, rebooting router to get a new IP
address from ISP, disabling the e-mail component of Anti-Virus
and finally subscribing to the list anew, with the same e-mail
address but new password.

 Re-subscription went along fine; all automated traffic to and from
the list (nightly-testers-request at mozilla.org) was instant and troublefree,
I can, too, access online (via browser) my list configuration page:

https://mail.mozilla.org/options/nightly-testers/[e-mail-address]

HOWEVER, WHEN I TRY TO START A NEW THREAD
ON MY OWN BY SENDING AN E-MAIL (in plain text format)
TO nightly-testers at mozilla.org , MY CLIENT (Windows Mail)
TELLS ME THAT THE MESSAGE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY
SENT AND I RECEIVE NO FURTHER SUCCESS/FAILURE
MESSAGES FROM THE SERVER AT nightly-testers at mozilla.org

Yet, the mail itself never shows up in the list archive,
nor do I get the acknowledgement mail, as per my list options...
I can see my e-mail address is present inside
https://mail.mozilla.org/roster/nightly-testers
so I do not have the faintest why my mails aren't going through...

It would appear (on my side) that the only way to get to
the list is by posting to an existing list thread, like this one (???).
In the past,
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/nightly-testers/2015-December/004025.html
I could create a new thread in the list, not so anymore :-{

I have no prior knowledge of this new JIRA system,
nor was I ever contacted about it - last list traffic I got
via e-mail was on June 4th:
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/nightly-testers/2016-June/004123.html

 I am not inclined to spend any additional time in order
to get to the bottom of this, people running this list should
always consider nightly-testers are volunteers with limited
time resources (and sometimes patience), FWIW I will
include further down my "original" bug e-mail, which,
despite me persevering three times, seems unable to
initiate a new list thread:
