Re: majordomo unmaintained, postmaster emails ignored? - Mailing list pgsql-general

    Let me start this email by saying thank you to whoever fixed the
    problem. I found a bunch of "Welcome to..." / "Results from delayed
    command" message pairs in my mail this morning, and a batch of
    messages from each of sql, performance, and hackers mailing lists.

    Yes, that was the date I first received "must be approved by
    maintainers" messages. However, I didn't receive any email to that
    address until Monday when I retried the same

    subscribe-set pgsql-general noprefix neuhauser+pgsql-general#postgresql.org@sigpipe.cz

    command, only this time I sent it from the neuhauser+pgsql-general#postgresql.org@sigpipe.cz
    address, not neuhauser@sigpipe.cz. A few minutes later, I had
    majordomo's welcome to and the traffic started flowing in. My other
    subscriptions (sql, hackers, performance) were in limbo until this
    morning (CET).

    That's strange, as you can see above, the command I sent was
    "subscribe-set $list noprefix", yet the listing shows prefix. I can
    confirm that messages I receive from all the lists have munged
    subjects, although I used subscribe-set noprefix in all
    subscriptions.

    majordomo claimed I was subscribed, but didn't send me the traffic.

    That's a completely different bug, the web interface doesn't escape
    the +, which is then interpreted as urlencoded space. You might want
    to make sure that the web interface protects the addresses it uses
    as request parameters by encoding / decoding them according to
    RFC1738. Otherwise, malicious users might be able to use specially
    crafted email addresses as trojan horses.

    Again, thanks for approving the subscriptions.
