That's an opportunity for a netiquette reminder:

Instead of sending meaningless test messages to a mailing-list with
thousands of subscribers, one preferably performs such a test in a
different and smarter way: 
 (1) If you want to ensure you receive messages, you simply wait patiently
while visiting the archives to check whether there is activity on the list.
 (2) If you want to ensure that a future message from you will be accepted
by the list, prepare and send the _real_ message text instead of a test
message.
