PostgreSQL security release 7.2.2 hasn't been announced on pgsql-announce
That's a serious issue. Like many other admins, I rely on announce
mailing lists for all the daemons I run on my servers, to be informed
about fixed security problems in new releases.
On the Postgres announce list I get plenty of release information about
PgSQL-related projects, but the most important thing - a security
release from 2002-Aug-24 - is not there.
I've only today (5 days after the fact!) noticed a message on a Mandrake
Linux mailing list that informed me about this security release.
What's the use of an announce list if it doesn't announce new releases?
Best Regards,

It did, according to the archives:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-announce/2002-08/msg00004.php
However, I see from my mail logs that I never got a copy of that.
I am subscribed (just checked majordomo), and given that you have
a similar complaint it would seem pgsql-announce is pretty lossy.
Marc, any ideas?

I received the announcement today, seems it was stuck somewhere:

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

I have to take that back; I was grepping for ANNOUNCE and missed
this log entry:
Subject: [GENERAL] PostgreSQL 7.2.2: Security Release
Apparently the announcement was cross-posted between -announce and
-general, and my copy got delivered with the GENERAL tag.
So, I withdraw the "lossy" complaint, and substitute a new one:
Marc, would it be possible for the archives to show the full To: line
of postings? If it had been visible at
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-announce/2002-08/msg00004.php
that the posting was cross-posted to -general, I would have thought
to check both tags.

I had looked at announce archive today morning before I've posted to
bugs (to see if it's a problem with my mail server or Postgres') and the
announcement wasn't in the archive.
Now it is.

Yes, but you have the 'duplicate remove' setting in your majordomo
settings. Did it actually appear in Announce? Seems one person is
reporting it just appeared today.
