Ah, I didn't explain, just I remember that I was trying to send to the
very similar e-mail address (an wanadoo too) which I remember from the
previous package, or, may be from the mailing list, and it didn't work
I tried again couple of minutes ago, and did not receive a reply so far.
Seems this address works.
Sorry for inconvenience and offtopic.
