The SMTP relay visible in cutout has 6 IP addresses assigned and they all
PTR resolve to the name mentioned "mrelayng.kundenserver.de".

I provide a cutout from the tcptrace which I made yesterday when
submitting the mentioned PR second time.

As you can see the local FROM address was rewritten (masqueraded) by
my external mail address.

I have no access to SMTP relay mentioned above but the CC was delivered
to my mailbox at ISP's site.

The SMTP relay I use, "mrelayng.kundenserver.de" , is ^not^ in blacklists.
I use actually this relay to send ^this^ message.

I have really ^no^ idea how should I get this PR delivered?!

Is there any other way, excluding web Interface which is currently down, to
submit the PR?

Is there anybody who can look for a possible reason on GNATS server?

Bests
