Re: [GENERAL] Subcribing to this list, what's the secret?

If you have a dot in your gmail username, take it out.  Gmail ignores
it and validation scripts often puke on it.

Then use that email as your reply to, not some nonexistent carp.

a good number (25%?) seem to be missing from the mailing list archives
that are found on the postgres site. Example, it seems that both of my
responses to Scott Marlowe never made it to the list, but are somehow
listed in google, and on the newsgroup. Scott was PO'd that I didn't
respond to his first post, that got me to check into why he didn't.

I posted about this issue, the failure of the website subscription form
to accept (at least) an @yahoo.com email acct, and no one replied
(though that was one of the posts that didnt' seem to make it onto the
mailing list, but is on google  newsgroup). Can someone tell me what
the secret is, or check the webform at postgresql.org and make sure it's
in order?

 I did see your previous email but thought you must have been doing
 something wrong.

Per this morning's discussion, there was a DNS misconfiguration that
prevented the webserver from resolving email addresses.  It's claimed
to be corrected now.

I did see your previous email but thought you must have been doing
something wrong.  Going to:

http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/subscribe

and entering my gmail address worked, and I tried a username that
contained a period, and that worked too.

Interestingly, I can't find your previous email that I saw in our
archives, or in google archives.  What email address where you trying?
