Thread: majordomo unmaintained, postmaster emails ignored?
Hello, I've been waiting five months for the majordomo moderators to approve my subscription requests to several @postgresql.org mailing lists. I sent an email to postmaster@postgresql.org more than two months ago, also without any reaction. What should I do to spark someone's interest? Pls cc me on replies. -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb? You don't know, man. You don't KNOW. Cause you weren't THERE. http://bash.org/?255991

A copy of the message I sent to postmaster@postgresql.org last
december is attached. I think it has all the evidence of approval
being required you need.

Hello,
I tried to subscribe to the doc mailing list on July 27th, with token
9E0C-7AF7-36CA. The request has been processed up to

Nothing happened since then.
I also tried to subscribe to general, hackers, perf, and sql on
September 24th, with tokens CA86-08AC-51A7, 225E-80E3-7C1A,
B43A-4209-5756, and 74A6-0E96-E08F, with exactly the same result.
Could someone point please process the requests?

Please do let me know if I need to submit the subscription requests
identified in the email again. I'd really appreciate if someone did
help me through this.
BTW, my first never replied to email to people who should take care
of majordomo I could find is a mail sent to
pgsql-docs-owner@postgresql.org on Wed, 3 Aug 2005 00:40:15 +0200
(Message-ID: <20050802224015.GD7082@isis.sigpipe.cz>).

I'm not receiving messages because I'm subscribed with nomail.
That's not the problem however. I want to receive the list traffic
to a different set of addresses, and that stalled ("the request must
be approved by the moderators"), as well as my attempts to gain
pgsql-docs-owner@'s and postmaster@'s attention.
Does anyone read mail for the pgsql-<list>-owner@ and postmaster@
aliases? Does anyone pay attention to the approval queue?
Anyway, here's a few snippets from my last year's email
conversations with majordomo@postgresql.org.
My subscription requests:
: Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2005 12:17:37 +0200
: From: Roman Neuhauser <neuhauser@sigpipe.cz>
: To: majordomo@postgresql.org
:

: subscribe-set pgsql-hackers nomail neuhauser@sigpipe.cz
: subscribe-set pgsql-performance nomail neuhauser@sigpipe.cz
: subscribe-set pgsql-sql nomail neuhauser@sigpipe.cz
Majordomo replied with the usual batch of CONFIRM messages, one of
which was:
: Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2005 07:17:39 -0300
: From: pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org
: To: neuhauser+pgsql-general#postgresql.org@sigpipe.cz

: The following request

: and follow the instructions there.
:
: 2. Reply to majordomo@postgresql.org
: with one of the following two commands in the body of the message:
:
: accept
: reject
:
: (The number CA86-08AC-51A7 must be in the Subject header)
:
: 3. Reply to majordomo@postgresql.org
: with one of the following two commands in the body of the message:
:
: accept CA86-08AC-51A7
: reject CA86-08AC-51A7
:
: Your confirmation is required for the following reason(s):
:
: Roman Neuhauser <neuhauser@sigpipe.cz> issued a command
: that affects another address (neuhauser+pgsql-general#postgresql.org@sigpipe.cz).
:
:
: If you do not respond within 4 days, a reminder will be sent.
:
: If you do not respond within 7 days, this token will expire,
: and the request will not be completed.
:
: If you would like to communicate with a person,
: send mail to pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org.
I replied to that with:
: Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2005 12:37:28 +0200

: To: majordomo@postgresql.org

To which majordomo said:

And that was the end of the conversation, I'm still waiting for a
reply to my message to postmaster@ from December, and another one to
pgsql-docs-owner@ from last August (covering the same problem):
: Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2005 00:40:15 +0200

Is this a bug in majordomo, or in the postgresql.org setup?
Similarly, should I expect my possible future emails to the owner
and postmaster aliases to generate zero replies as well?

Which address? I see no whitespace in any of the addresses displayed
in my email.

I'm switching away from header-based filtering because that breaks
from time to time because of version and/or configuration changes in
the software involved.

Actually, I suspect it's puking on the #'s in the email addresses.

Is it possible that majordomo is pushing out the messages just fine, but
then something downstream (ie one of the forwarders) is puking on the
funny addresses? Not sure why you'd not be seeing bounce-backs if that
were it, but ...

Another possibility is that the subscription code in majordomo has a different idea on valid emails than the code that accepts emails from members... -- Jim C.

Sure it is, but the mailing list software doesn't think so, or at least part of it does. What I meant by the above was that if the software was going to choke on the email address, it should have done so right away, instead of allowing it to get fully subscribed and then deciding that it was not valid at some other point in the workflow leading up to actually sending you some email. >> Well, all I can recommend then is perhaps trying an email address without >> the "#" sign if possible. > Funny thing, I've managed to sign to pgsql-general with the address > displayed above when I sent the very first subscribe command from > that address. That suggests that the bug shows up The address is fully subscribed to the list, both Marc and I can verify that. The problem is that it fails some other check when mail is sent to it.

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.
> So I'm not 100% certain *what* the problem is :(
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.
