The unblocking information at that web page is also included in any
bounce message that you get if your email does not go through.

If you don't want to argue the point then don't make the point.
Let me say it again -- no mailing list on sources.redhat.com rejects
source code. There is a huge traffic in sending source code to mailing
lists at this site. There is, however, a spam blocker in operation. If
it rejects a message due to a false positive, it is trivially easy to
bypass that block. That does not, of course, stop people from failing
to read the instructions on how to unblock themselves and/or being
mortally offended by the block.

Fascinating. You tell someone who is trying to help resolve your
problem that they should "know better" and then send "thanks and
regards".
