I can't help, I don't understand. I yesterday followed up to a mail that was additionally addressed to the <debian-c...@lists.debian.org> mailing list and got an automatic reply telling me that the mail cannot be delivered because I'm not subscribed. Not a bounce, but an automatic reply to the address in the From: header, not the envelope sender address. How do you call this? I'd be happy if it would've been a delivery notification giving me the opportunity to easily confirm the mail to have it finally delivered, and, as a bonus, all subsequent mails I send, without subscribing. That's how the debian-package-d...@list.smarden.org works. And for subscribers, mail is delivered immediately. You didn't subscribe. With the <debian-c...@lists.debian.org> mailing list, I now need to guess whether the From: address needs to be subscribed or the envelope sender address, subscribe with that address, re-send the message, losing information about the cross-posting, and maybe do the same again if I guessed the address wrong. I don't do that. Regards, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
