Debian Users, I'd like to provide some interim information which some may find helpful to explain some of the extra mail which has come through, some of the reasons why people who unsubscribed are thinking that they are still subscribed, and why others haven't seen their posts coming through the lists.
The official hostname for the lists is lists.debian.org. Please use it for all of your postings and subscription/unsubscription requests (remember, send "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" to the REQUEST form of the list, as debian-<listname>[EMAIL PROTECTED]). At one point, master.debian.org (also known as debian.org by IP address) was acting as lists.debian.org for list delivery. There are some legacy mailing lists on that machine from approximately one month ago. I have requested that the folks who created those lists redirect any incoming posting to the appropriate address. In the interim, you may see email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hopefully those lists will soon either point to the correct list addresses or contain up to date subscriber information. If you think that you are subscribed to those legacy lists, you do not need to worry...we will take care of the situation in the near future. The mailing list processor, Smartlist, does not accept submissions from usernames which appear to be "system users" (i.e. root, admin, daemon, bin) for either posting or subscription/unsubscription. It is not recommended that anyone utilize root or other system accounts for ordinary mail and news purposes. Please utilize your normal accounts for the purposes of the Debian mailing lists (among other things) If you have any questions about the above information or the lists in general, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I or someone else will provide you with answers. Thanks, Pete -- Pete Templin, Debian List Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED]
