Israel is the better person to answer this.

However, I just sent a test message to GetTor with subject "Help" and
immediately received a response with instructions. So, it's not down for
me. Maybe try from a different address.

Sorry, I don't really know how to debug this. Your best bet is Israel or
maybe friendly people in the #tor IRC channel who have more experience
with GetTor than I. (My main interaction was to process GetTor
statistics until five years ago.)

All the best,
Karsten
