I created my first relay a few days ago, but I’ve been getting the following errors:

```auto
13:59:31 [WARN] http status 400 ("Suspicious relay address range -- if you think this is a mistake, please set a valid email address in ContactInfo and send an email to bad-relays@lists.torproject.org mentioning your address(es) and fingerprint(s).") response from dirserver 204.13.164.118:80.

```

Following the instructions, I emailed **[bad-relays@lists.torproject.org](mailto:bad-relays@lists.torproject.org)** but haven’t received any response. I resent the email after two days, but I still haven’t heard back.  
How long does it typically take to get a response? Also, how can I verify whether my emails have even been delivered?

I’ve just received a response to my email, and I can see that my relay now has the ‘Valid’ flag. Thanks a lot!
