It appears there were some problems with the refpolicy list server. It
should be fixed now, but there may have been some queued messages that
were rejected. They should go through now if you resend them.

Hello Christopher,
thanks for the note.
You should also be aware that the list server does not carry out any
sanity check on the timestamp of messages sent to the list.
So, one could in theory send a message dated in the past or in the
future (even for malicious reasons) and the list server would just
"drink it".
The list server should probably regenerate the timestamp locally and
never accept the timestamp from the sender.
Best regards,
Guido Trentalancia
