I did see your previous email but thought you must have been doing
something wrong. Going to:
http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/subscribe
and entering my gmail address worked, and I tried a username that
contained a period, and that worked too.
Interestingly, I can't find your previous email that I saw in our
archives, or in google archives. What email address where you trying?
