The first time was a couple of weeks ago - I just ignored it and resubscribed - but having to do it again is just too much! Please do something about it, sort it out!

Re: MajorDomo Problems
Love to know why my freebsd-arch subscription disappeared, although the rest appeared to stick around. I just resubscribed, but was subscribed before (but not sure about until when) as [EMAIL PROTECTED] What is strange is that if that was bouncing, I would have expected, say, my -current subscription to bounce just as much and be unsubscribed. From the files in the directory, maybe it is the case that a reboot/crash hit hub as a subscription request was being processed? (does it rewrite the file in place, or does it copy the file out with changes, then do a double rename to put it back in place over the old version?) Robert On Mon, 11 Oct 1999, Jonathan M.

Bull$#!^. I run a couple of fairly large mailing-lists under majordomo, and nobody ever gets ``accidentally'' unsubscribed. On the other hand, quite a few people suddenly start bouncing their mail and get *intentionally* unsubscribed (by me).
