I'm seeing a behaviour I'd describe as "bursty". A day of silence, followed by a deluge of messages, followed by silence ... No ascertainable pattern. I looked for problems on my end first, but it's only affecting traffic from postgres.org. -------------- end quote -------------- For me it only affects pgsl-general at the moment. The last mail I received from there is dated 30 September. Mails form pgsl-hackers, sql, interfaces and php are OK. I've seen "bursty" behaviour before too. I was only able to reply to this thread by going to http://archives2.us.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2001-10/msg00128.php and copying the quoted mail above from the web page. The only thing that is non-standard or queer (I don't really know whether any mailers still pay attention to it) about our mail server is that reverse lookup for it's IP address does not work at the moment (we have a hidden primary and trying to do classless in-addr-arpa delegation for our /28 subnet which our ISP seems to be confused about, I think).

My RDNS is busted too, but I'm not having any trouble receiving PG mail.
So the problem is probably not that...

Has anyone heard any more about this problem? I also haven't gotten anything from pgsql-general since Oct. 1. The other lists seem to be working fine for me. I tried re-subscribing, plus sending an e-mail to pgsql-general-admin. The re-subscribe seemed to go normally and successfully, but I still haven't received any postings. I haven't heard back from the admin yet. I got the info below from the archives. I'll have to check back there to even see if this post made it through, I guess. :( Thanks, Jim -- > Re: PG mailing list problems (was Re: Support issues) > > > > From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> > To: Frank Joerdens <frank@joerdens.de> > Subject: Re: PG mailing list problems (was Re: Support issues) > Date: Sun, 07 Oct 2001 10:02:46 -0400 > > > > Frank Joerdens <frank@joerdens.de> writes: > > * Tom Lane (tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us) [011005 13:58]: > >> Marc, I think there is something rotten in Denmark: certain mail lists > >> are not getting sent out to certain addresses, looks like. > > > For me it only affects pgsl-general at the moment.

I got since about one hour mails to an old account, which I disabled months ago. Perhaps someone took an old backup?

Suddenly, I'm getting mail from all the lists...
I'm receiving mail from the list very sporadically. Andrew --- David Link <dlink@soundscan.com> wrote: > Jim Caley wrote: > > > > Has anyone heard any more about this problem?

I have the exact opposite problem-- I keep turning off direct mailing for pgsql-general (with successfull confirmation) and it keeps sending me mail anyway! haha culley --- David Link <dlink@soundscan.com> wrote: > Jim Caley wrote: > > > > Has anyone heard any more about this problem?

I signed up 02-Oct-2001 and just today started to receive a stream of msgs from pgsql-general. So it wasn't working for me and now it is. I hope this helps. -David Jim Caley wrote: > > Has anyone heard any more about this problem? I also haven't gotten anything > from pgsql-general since Oct. 1.
