   Hans, here's a recent bounce message I received:
Dear subscriber,
   
We've encountered some problems while sending listmail to your
emailaddress ronle...@tesco.net.
   
In the last seven days we've seen bounces for the following
list:
* debian-user
   
1 bounce out of 45 mails in one day (2%, kick-score is
80%) (http://lists.debian.org/bounces/[*** trimmed ***)
   
(The link above points to a copy of the latest bounce
and will be valid for seven days.)
   
If the bounce-rate passes the kick-score, our bounce-detection
will forcibly remove your subscription.
   
Bounces happen from time to time when spam slips through our
filters but are rejected by your mail provider.  If you are your
own mail provider and use 'Before-Queue Content filtering', you
should whitelist bendel.debian.org from Content filtering.
   
However: You can safely ignore this message (and you will not be
unsubscribed
   
:-) ) if your kick-score remains low.
   
For more information see
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ListMaster/FAQ
   
You are welcome to contact listmas...@lists.debian.org if you
think this message was sent in error.
   
Sincerely,
   
The Listmaster Team
-- http://lists.debian.org
  
   You can re-subscribe, I think.  Also, you could check with o2
   whether they can do that whitelist for you.
  
   In the longer term, you could, indeed, run a simple mail server on
   a free domain and on a dynamic IP for less-important mails such as
   lists, but for important mails you need a static ip, and postfix
   or exim, coupled with dovecot, on RAID1, and use rdiff-backup to
   snapshot the mail store to another machine every 4 hours. 
   Otherwise, important email is best left to the isp, I think.
  
   regards, Ron
 
  Hi Ron.
 
  Yes, that is the mail I received. However, as it told me , I will
  not be unsubscribed, I did nothing.
 
  Now I subscribed to the list again, hope this will fix things. If it
  doesn't, I will have to talk to my isp.
 
  For the own mail server: In earlier times I was a postmaster for
  myself. Ran postfix on the servers, so configuration will not be the
  problem. The greater problem is the fixed IP I need. Of course I
  could register a domain from dyndns.org, but then I am again hanging
  at another provider. Rootservers is another solution, but not cheap.
 
  Lowest price will be a little talk with my provider, I guess. :) I
  will be smart, they will be smart.
 
  And we will see, if my resubsription works.
 
 
  Thanks for the help!

 Hans, I have the same issue, hence the personal email. The problem, 
 folks who send messages to the list  with reply all or anything other 
 than reply to mail list., lazy behavior or broken emailer..
 
 My spam filter at my isp quarrantines these, then bounces them if I 
 don't manage , whitelist them.. which I do not want to do, so I get 
 blocked by Debian User. 
 
 I still recieve the user list, just can not post.
 
 
 Peace,
 
 Greg
 

Hmm, it looks, I made a mistake. When I receive a mail from the list, I
always reply to all, not to the list. I suppose, due to this behaviour,
I was unsubsribed whatever.

Besides, I subscribed again, but that did not work. Today I will talk
to my isp, if debian.org is blocked. 

In my case it is upside down as at yours: I can send to the list, but
got no receives, you get receives but cannot send.

Let's see, what my isp says, I hope, the problem will be solved, soon.

And let us see, that I can avoid this trouble in the future.

Best regards

Hans

Very, very unlikely. I'm inclined to say it is impossible.

Does not work is a little vague. You should have received a
confirmation message within minutes for a *new* subscription. Of
course you may never have been unsubscribed so, in that case,
there would have been nothing for the list software to do because
it already knew about the address you subscribed with.

 In my case it is upside down as at yours: I can send to the list, but
 got no receives, you get receives but cannot send.

You have been responding to messages in this thread. Did you receive
any of those messages from the list? Or were they read elsewhere.

 Hmm, it looks, I made a mistake. When I receive a mail from the list, I
 always reply to all, not to the list. I suppose, due to this behaviour,
 I was unsubsribed whatever.

On this list, one replies to the list, debian-user@lists.debian.org
and one CC:s the author of the message iff that author requests it.
This is to accomodate users of Debian who do not wish to be subscribed
to the list. On this list, one should *never* reply to all.

 
 Besides, I subscribed again, but that did not work. Today I will talk
 to my isp, if debian.org is blocked. 

I think that continued use of reply-to-all resulted in continually 
being unsubscribed by debian thought police, not an action by your isp,
but your isp may have. 

Bravo, Debian Thought Police

That doesn't eliminate non-delivery of your test subscription request.

Anyhow, your messages are obviously being received at the list (I'm

as evidenced by your replying to one of them.

No need for an apology. especially when you are dealing with

True. So I used another unused mail address to subscribe and responded
positively to the confirmation, which came within seconds. Then I
resubscribed. Nothing, no mail, no response.

It is a distinct possibilty that Hans was never unsubscribed from the
list.

Weird.  Although the address for list adminstrivia is different from the
list address, the domain part is the same, and one would expect an ISP
to filter domains not just single email addresses.  I could, of course,
be wrong in that supposition.

Indeed.

No, not on my pc. Maybe at my provider. I will check it out. Strange, as I

But thank you, for informing me. However, I get not a single mail from the

Hmm, looks like my provider (which is o2 aka o2online) here in Germany blocks 
the domain debian.org completely. There is no mail in my incoming folder, 
nor one in spam or elsewhere. 

Other mails from other destinations or domains are delivered correctly. I 
cannot find out, if it is a personal or a general problem. Maybe if someone 
else got loop.de or o2online.de in his mail-address might confirm or deny this.

Please send answers of this subject as copy to my address, so I can read them. 
I will of course send to the list as copy as well.

Thank you very much.

I guess you have checked and have found the cause.

The same 'symptom' could appear, also, for another reason; debian list 
server will stop sending mails to any address from which it has 
received 'bounces' greater than some quantity (I think 80 % threshold, 
but not sure).  Is it (instead) possible that o2 is not blocking that 
domain but, instead, for some reason mail to you is being bounced?  Or 
did your check definitely rule out this additional possibility?

No, you were not meant to delete that, and it's not the end of the system.
It's not like of my High School buddies doing deltree /y C:\... did you

 located (headers, etc).  IMO, it's usually best to leave this directory
 and those in it intact.
 
 
Is there any way to get it back? Especially by using the repositories?
Or could I copy it from another Debian system that I have?

On my system, /usr/src/linux is just a symlink to
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64 -- maybe you just need to
re-create that link.

ops I deleted /etc/default?deleted /etc/default?

2000-06-23 Thread Tim Webster
Stupid me I deleted the /etc/default? directory.

I have no idea what was in that directory.
Seems it contained some rather importanted stuff.
If someone could tar up their /etc/default directory it would be great.
Then I could use that /etc/default tar ball as guidance so that I can 
recreat mine.

I am still able to bring the machine online, with a hand job, but its just
barely.

-Thanks guys.
I need this today if possible.

-Tim.

Love debian

I'll send what I have in another reply, not to the list, but
I have doubt that it'll do you much good, since it seems to
be installation-dependent, having files needed by the particular
software configuration installed (IOW installation set).

It is apparently not like /etc/skel...

I'll attach a .tar.gz, and also paste in a uuencode...
