Support issues

I was about to say that your mailer setup must be broken --- my mail
logs show more than ninety posts in pgsql-general since Tuesday.

However, the mailing list archive engine at
http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/ doesn't see 'em either; and earlier
today I was wondering why it couldn't find a pgsql-ports posting I
wanted from a couple days ago. So it's getting a rather selective
subset of posts too.

Marc, I think there is something rotten in Denmark: certain mail lists
are not getting sent out to certain addresses, looks like.

Are there support contracts available for PostgreSQL? I know Great
Bridges just closed there doors. That is sadding.

PostgreSQL Inc is still in business. See also

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.

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

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.

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

I am still only getting a few of the pgsql-general postings. I know
this by checking the archives.

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

I'm receiving mail from the list very sporadically.

Hmm ... my problem is almost the opposite. I signed up for a half-dozen
lists 'NOMAIL', so I could post through Usenet. Suddenly, I'm getting mail
from all the lists...
