[opensuse] Had to subscribe again today. Strange
The two messages that I posted about a half hour ago had been sent originally much earlier today. After they were sent the first time, I received messages from the list server telling me that they could not be posted because my address was not subscribed. In fact I have been subscribed for several months, and have posted here. My address has not changed, and my mailer knows only that one address to put into my From header; I do not use a separate Reply-to header. That the messages bore my correct From address is clear from the fact that the two refusal messages arrived in my inbox. What I did, of course, was to subscribe again, to the same address. My new subscription was accepted by the list server without a peep, without a remark that I was already subscribed. I have to conclude that the list server has tripped, and this is the second time this has happened. In all the lists that I have joined during the past twenty years (and the two that I have operated), I have never seen this to happen. Is this phenomenon known to the administrators of the list? Is there an explanation for it? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, and it was posted here, and you should have got a direct email from the administrator advising to resubscribe. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Hi, Stan Goodman wrote (shortened):

Yes - there is: --8<-- there was a lists.opensuse.org maintenance process hanging (undetected) for a very long time. This process continued a couple of minutes ago. Unfortunately because of the long delay some calculations went wrong (bounce times). This had the effect that the list software may have you unsubscribed. Please check your subscriptions. To do so you can simply subscribe again by sending a mail to +subscribe@opensuse.org. In case your are still subscribed the system will tell you about it. In case you are not anymore subscription is exactly what you want :) Sorry for the inconvenience. The underlying problem has been fixed.

Thanks to those who replied for the explanation. I'm much relieved. I did not see any previous notice that this would happen; that was a function of my filter array, and I have made a change there to prevent such an omission again.
