Hi,

Im not sure why, I do make some scheduled blocklist-updates and resets
around midnight which could have led to a temporary block. (Though I
think most MTA's just resends a few times before giving up so I
haven't concerned myself with this so far).

Yeah unfortunately the gitlab url I added don't have any git
history. If you can help me retrieve it from software heritage like a
git clone or so with the git version history that would be very
nice. I tried finding a way and looked at swh.scm but I couldn't
figure it out within any reasonable amount of time.
