For future reference, if you want to test your connection to the suse mail server, you don't have to ping SLE, there is a test list set up specifically for this purpose
It's no use, in this case.
Last week, on Monday, it happened to me, I had no SuSE lists email for more than 12 hours, but there were new email on the web server. I tried subscribing to test-list, but I got no answer. I sent a "ping" to the Spanish list, didn't receive it, but I saw it instead on the web archive. Some people answered, they were getting list mail, but not me and some others.
"no use"? I guess that depends on what you were trying to find out. The fact that you didn't get a reply from test-list told you there was some problem with the connection between the list and you, and so did the fact that you saw posts in the archive that you hadn't received. What else did you hope to find out by pinging the list instead of the test-list?
