Hello again, MySQL list subscriber! We have completed the first phase of maintenance on the mailing lists, and mail should now start flowing on the lists again.
Along with upgrading the hardware serving the lists, we have put in place new systems to help combat spam. One part of this system requires that non-subscribers to the mailing list confirm that they are a real person before their message is let through to the list. (And depending on how your local systems are configured, even some subscribers may be required to go through this one-time confirmation.) We will be keeping a close eye on things to make sure no real emails get dropped by the new systems, but please bear with us in the event that a few pieces of spam email slip through in the meantime. The mailing list archives at http://lists.mysql.com/ have also received the first phase of a facelift, and we will be rolling out additional improvements there in the weeks to come. If you encounter any difficulties with the lists, please don't hesitate to drop us a line at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Again, we're sorry about the interruption and inconvenience, and thanks in advance for your patience as we work the kinks out of the new systems! - The MySQL Team -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
