Access to gmplib.org

It seems GMP servers block assess from russian networks (I tried several providers). Is this intentional? And if so, maybe it should be documented somehow?

I'm aware about "M$ DoS attack" (i.e. https://gmplib.org/list-archives/gmp-discuss/2023-June/006906.html), maybe it's related (I've noticed this ~August, everything was working before past summer).

I've tried to ask this on the gmp-discuss, but it looks like messages are lost in a black hole. Perhaps it's related somehow to "We are blocking all email from PR China", but according to my tests, google ips that appear in my emails aren't originated from China networks.

Sure, I know some tricks and I can access the GMP docs. But the GMP library is a part of the GNU project. If it bans some contribution or restrict access for some countries - that decision should be public.

Sorry for asking here, but I was unable to reach the GMP maintainers in any other way. Maybe someone else could help.

Now on gmplib.org is see: " Starting in early 2024, we cannot deliver email to any gmail.com addresses. This is a result of that Google no longer trusts our email server. We have never delivered spam to any gmail account, their policies are based on other considerations.

Note that we perform spam and virus filtering of these lists. The lists have been 100% spam-free during the last years.

We're blocking all mail from many IP ranges, for spam mitigation. That even includes geo blocking. If you are affected but have a legitimate reason to send mail to the GMP project, e.g., if you work at a university or corporation with an interest in GMP, please let us know; we will open access for you.
