Re: Re-registering?
It looks like someone tried to register [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a member of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not a pretty concept... :-) Unless someone replies to it and verifies the addition we should be fine. Hopefully the moderator/administrator caught it and cancelled it...

Re: Re-registering?
Has anyone else already on the list gotten the message that Someone (possibly you) has requested that your email address be added? It is dated today. Yup.
RE: Re-registering?
Looked to me like it was sent to the entire list. Now, if anyone replies to that email, I guess the entire list is going to get a second copy of every single email :( Maybe time to unsubscribe Nige -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Lars Segerlund Sent: 18 February 2003 15:27 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: Re-registering?

Has anyone else already on the list gotten the message that Someone (possibly you) has requested that your email address be added? It is dated today. Yes, I have, I was wondering about it myself...

It is dated today. From the message, it looks as though someone tried to register the amanda-users list to the amanda-users list. I think that this was someone who made a mistake while registering -- they typed the email address of the list, rather than their own. You should ignore this message (unless the list-owner says otherwise). HTH, Ricky Morse

Re: Re-registering?
Looked to me like it was sent to the entire list. Now, if anyone replies to that email, I guess the entire list is going to get a second copy of every single email :( Maybe time to unsubscribe As several folks figured out, someone messed up a subscription request FOR amanda-users (rather than for thamselves) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] resulting in that authorization message. Apparently majordomo does not check for this sort of thing and prevent it from happening. Even if someone were to respond with the authorization message and amanda-users were to get subscribed to itself, this wouldn't cause any duplicate messages. The setup on the server side is smart enough to send a message once per subscriber and notice if a forwarding loop were to happen and squash it. (an aside, if you managed to subscribe yourself twice, you'll still get one copy of the message). majordomo will set the To: field of a message correctly, so you can check that to see who the message was destined for. please ignore this and any other auth messages that may appear, and if you happen to see a message indicating amanda-users was subscribed to itself, you can either ignore it or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] so it can be removed (but even if it happens, you will NOT start seeing multiple copies of the messages, and the removal is just part of keeping things neat and tidy). please direct any follow up to this message (if any) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks. -Todd (list manager)
