k, where are you seeing the cgi-bin link referenced?  it hasn't been there 
for *ages* ... should just be:

http://mail.postgresql.org/mj/mj_wwwusr/domain=postgresql.org
Just tested from here to make sure ...

TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]


[GENERAL] Mail list / web issues

2005-01-28 Thread Steve Crawford
A couple of issues. I went to unsubscribe from one of the many PG 
lists to which I'm subscribed so I went to my original confirmation 
message and followed the directions. After a couple hours I got a 
response that the password I used was not valid (I cut an pasted from 
the confirmation message dated 2002-01-10 so it wasn't a typo).

So I went to the web site listed in the confirmation email:
http://webmail.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/mj_wwwusr/domain=postgresql.org
but that just gave me a 404 error.

So I checked the message source on a recent message for informative 
headers such as List-Help: and List-Unsubscribe like are in 
messages on some other lists I read. No joy.

So I went to www.postgresql.org and followed the links to:
http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/subscribe

Unfortunately the available lists drop-down is missing some entries 
(hackers, for example) and there is no option to display all lists to 
which I've subscribed.

The following would improve the list management usability:

Put something informative at 
http://webmail.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/mj_wwwusr/domain=postgresql.org 
with advice on how to manage subscriptions that have been transferred 
to the new setup along with appropriate links to the new subscription 
pages.

Allow someone to enter their email address on the web and see/change 
all their list subscriptions on one page.

Add List-* headers to the messages.

Cheers,
Steve

P.S. Just how do I unsubscribe from a list on the new system?

-Steve
