Thread: Not receiving ml posts
Hi, all The number of posts I've been receiving from the pgsql mailing lists I'm on has significantly dropped off. I do receive some, but only a handful a day. I can tell from the archives that it's not the case that the lists have become more quiet: I'm just not getting all of them. I don't see any pattern as to which I'm receiving. I've checked with my host and they haven't been able to see any problems on their end. Could someone take a look on the pgsql end and see if messages are bouncing, and if so, with what errors? I'm subscribed to at least -hackers, -general, -committers, and I believe -patches with this account. (I've actually tried to resubscribe to -www, but haven't yet received the confirmation email after 24 hours.) Thanks! If there's anything I can do to help this along, please let me know, cc'ing me if you're sending to the list. Michael Glaesemann grzm seespotcode net

Marc, Thanks for looking into this. I can see from the ml archives that you responded and cc'd me, but I didn't even get that mail. :( Did you get a bounce? What seems to be the problem? Is there anything more that I can check on my end or with my host? I've been checking my spam folder, and my pgsql mail is not ending up there. Thanks! Michael Glaesemann grzm seespotcode net

It seems to go up and down - I get different results from different networks, both wrt being able to resolve and tracerouting. It's obvious they have some kind of network issues. //Magnus

From here, I can resolve Elein's domain just fine, but when I tried to email her to point her at this discussion, I got Nov 16 15:43:42 sss2 sm-mta[634]: kAGKcgcE000631: timeout waiting for input from mail2.norcov.com. during client greeting Nov 16 15:43:42 sss2 sm-mta[634]: kAGKcgcE000631: to=<elein@varlena.com>, ctladdr=<tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> (301/20), delay=00:05:00,xdelay=00:05:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=120459, relay=mail2.norcov.com. [64.81.253.169], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred:Connection timed out with mail2.norcov.com. According to netstat the connection never got out of SYN_SENT state, ie, no ACK ever came back. So I concur it's some kind of connectivity issue at her ISP. (Interestingly enough, the third retry a few minutes later got through. So it's also intermittent.) regards, tom lane

I've forwarded it to my hosts. Again, I didn't receive your email, but I'm frequenting the archives page regularly. Something's definitely off. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.
