Everyone, but Stephen Frost in particular,
A week ago, the pgadmin-support@postgresql.org email list was migrated to
different software, to PGLister from MajorDomo.
When Stephen Frost (sfrost@snowman.net) migrated this list, he announced that if
there are any problems we are to talk to him specifically if there are any
issues or anything not working properly with the list.
That is partly what this email is about.
It appears that the Postgres mailing lists' documentation was not updated in
accordance with this move, for example lists.postgresql.org still talks about
the old MajorDomo software, and if people follow those instructions to try and
unsubscribe from a list, nothing would happen because MajorDomo isn't managing
the lists anymore.
Now the new emails themselves contain the following header, served by the new
software, so in theory they should be accurate:
List-Unsubscribe: <https://lists.postgresql.org/manage/>,
<mailto:pgadmin-support-unsubscribe@lists.postgresql.org>
SO TO THOSE OF YOU WANTING TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS LIST:
1. Send an email to pgadmin-support-unsubscribe@lists.postgresql.org from the
email address you're subscribed with, and follow any instructions you get back.
2. If that doesn't work, email Stephen Frost <sfrost@snowman.net> who presumably
has the admin privileges to both get you removed as well as fix whatever normal
channel isn't working.
3. For the love of all that is good, STOP sending posts to the mailing list
itself pgadmin-support@lists.postgresql.org asking to be unsubscribed. All you
are doing then is making the problem worse and spamming everyone else. Even if
it takes time to fix the unsubscribing problem, the fact you are still on the
list shouldn't be a bother if you get almost no traffic from it, due to people
not spamming the list.
Stephen, it would help if you would preemptively unsubscribe everyone that did
spam the list already as that should help with the most immediate problem, thank
you.
