Many people have multiple addresses, and sometimes accidentally send from a different address than the one they've subscribed with. They then email the list moderator asking why their mail didn't come through; when I investigate I usually find that they are subscribed with a different address from the one they're mailing me with, and recommend that they send their email from the other address, at which point their mails get through just fine. -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
