Only Marc can do anything about that.

In general, I'd say the postgresql.org mailservers shouldn't accept any
mail (unauthenticated) that's from an @postgresql.org address. But IIRC
someone was still relaying unauthenticated mail through there the last
time I proposed that :-)

Not sure if the integration with the hub.org MXen might be causing
issues here - we certainly wouldn't want those to be affected if we
restrict things...
