I never got a password when I signed up, which was years upon years ago.
And what is the URL?  Are we even running mailman??

It seems 1) your internet connection is down or unreachable (route?)
2) or your dns config is gone (/etc/resolv.conf)

try from console:
ping http.us.debian.org

Sometimes people don't want to subscribe to every list they want to send
just one question to (I am one of those, since I already have to manage
~15-20 lists...)

But perhaps those messages could be approved?

Go to the administration web page, enter your email address and the

The "nomail" option was mentioned.  I'm not familiar with that, could
someone explain how to use it?  I assume it means that you are still a
member of the list but you are not in the redistibution list.
