+While recently making some configuration changes to improve server security, we had a bug that caused mail deliveries to lists.riseup.net subscribers to fail.

 Your list,
 
-  ${list}@lists.riseup.net
+  ${list}\@lists.riseup.net
 
 was detected as possibly having list traffic during that time. There is a chance that any message sent to your list was not delivered to subscribers. However, any messages would have been properly archived, so you can check there to see if there are messages that need to be resent.
 
 You may also notice in the admin interface that bounce count for subscribers is high due to this issue. Do not delete any subscribers and on the next successful delivery the bounce numbers will be automatically fixed.
