I'm not receiving messages because I'm subscribed with nomail.
That's not the problem however. I want to receive the list traffic
to a different set of addresses, and that stalled ("the request must
be approved by the moderators"), as well as my attempts to gain
pgsql-docs-owner@'s and postmaster@'s attention.
Does anyone read mail for the pgsql-<list>-owner@ and postmaster@
aliases? Does anyone pay attention to the approval queue?
Anyway, here's a few snippets from my last year's email
conversations with [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My subscription requests:

Majordomo replied with the usual batch of CONFIRM messages, one of
which was:

And that was the end of the conversation, I'm still waiting for a
reply to my message to postmaster@ from December, and another one to
pgsql-docs-owner@ from last August (covering the same problem):

: Hello,
:
: I tried to subscribe to pgsql-docs seven days ago:
:
: >>>> subscribe pgsql-docs [EMAIL PROTECTED]
: ---- The subscribe command did not succeed.
: ----
: ---- The request
: ---- "subscribe pgsql-docs [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

: ---- The accept command for token 9E0C-7AF7-36CA succeeded,
: ---- but further approval is needed.

: ---- Now the request must be approved by the moderators.

:
: Can you please expedite the approval a bit? (Do you really approve all
: subscriptions by hand, or was my subscription attempt somehow
: "suspicious"?)
Is this a bug in majordomo, or in the postgresql.org setup?
Similarly, should I expect my possible future emails to the owner
and postmaster aliases to generate zero replies as well?
