Harry,

I tried entering your email in the subscription form, and there was no
problem. I guess there was a typo in the address during your previous
attempt to subscribe. If you clicked through the confirmation message, you
should be subscribed now.

Well thanks for the taking the time.

I did check my address several times while at the subscription
page.  But it would not be the first time I was blind to some error.

When you mention the `confirmation message' are you referring to one from
gmane or do you mean I should have gotten something from the list
itself?

If the latter then I have received nothing.

Going thru the subscription process again and you are right that my
email address is not rejected.  I should be good now 

Thanks again

There should've been one from our list software, Mailman, after you
submit the form (or in that case, me impersonating you), with the
instructions to accept the subscription. If the form is working and
you're still not receiving any mail, we can look into it, although
chances are it's not a problem we can solve on our end.

[osol-discuss] Fwd: [OT] Openindiana mailing list

Sorry for the last post, the original mail comes here, and explains...

 Message original 
Sujet:  [osol-discuss] [OT] Openindiana mailing list

Sorry for the ot, but hoped to find an openindiana enthusiast who can
coach me a bit.

Trying to subscribe to openindiana-discuss mailing list at:
  http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

My request is rejected with:

  Your subscription is not allowed because the email address you gave
  is insecure

In the dozens, maybe over 100 Mailing groups I've belonged to over the
years, I've never had this happen.

I wanted to subscribe so as to be able to post through `gmane' to the
Openindiana group.

If the mailing list will not accept my email, how is a subscription possible?

The statement says my address is insecure, but isn't that true of ANY
email address that has been posted on the internet?

Can anyone coach me
