[OT?] Problems with majordomo :-)

So sorry for the OT :-)
I'm experiencing some weird behaviour by majordomo-owner (not answering
my posts, even older than a week) and also with pgsql-novice and cygwin,
I addressed a few posts to them which are nowhere to be seen (a search
in the Archives also gives no result!); neither do I receive any
acknowledgemt of reject or stall, which I set for. Even with 'general'
there seem to be problems: I saw a couple of posts mailed recently, but
couldn't see my answers, although the selfcopy is set.
Could anibody explain what is going on?

Regards,
    Ennio

P.S. I do receive other people's post, apparently all of them.

Don't forget my problem with mail being lost in the air with a strange
error message from a postmaster somewhere in the relay chain (I suspect
commandprompt.com).  It was never resolved, and I had one person telling
me a week ago that he could not subscribe to the list for this reason (I
had to subscribe him manually).

You don't know if you receive them all ... remember, maybe there is some
data loss, but the records of data loss is also lost.

True, but at the suggestion of the Majordomo developers, I've since
removed the relays ... they are suspecting that part of the 'slow
delivery' problem that we've been seeing is a result of DNS issues slowing
things down ;(

Ohhh! Thank you very much indeed, Alvaro.
Your post, and Marc's answer, (although I don't know what the DNS
problem may be) help me feel not so dumb! :-)

Cheers,
    Ennio.
