At Thu Oct 4 02:11:14 MEST 2007 While the MailingList-archives at http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/xwin-discuss/2007-October/date.html are fast *today*, but not always. They look like they are complete, but I didn't go back very far.
(MailingList-Archives && Jive-archives && my own Inbox) are rarely immediately in sync, sometimes never get at all. This experience applies to xwin-discuss just as much as to all the other opensol lists, especially, and most notably, when I send out a message from a Mail client, maybe it has to do with my primary address mb1x gmx com being listed on some international SPAM blacklist(s)? Sometimes my list mails appear to hang in some queue for up to half a day. That's in fact the main reason, why I normally exclusively post via the Jive forums. Then I would definitely get my msg. into the forum, into the archives plus would myself get it being sent back to the address I had provided during subscription (normally also mb1x gmx com). I hardly trust email as means of communication anymore. Spammers seem to be abusing my address for their Sender's field. Not to mention the 70 to 120 SPAM mails addressed to me being filtered out by my ISP every day. Alan, that's one of the reasons I had suggested Facebook as a more reliable means (though you had never sent me the CONFIRM msg. I had requested 3 or so weeks ago). Whether I would receive a confirmation mail or not, just checking Facebook's Inbox every day suffices. So, and now especially to what I had done differently today: Since about 20 hours I had once again used Thunderbird, not Jive. And as I myself did get back my own list messages, I had to expect everybody else had also recived them. Not so?? Thanks for pointing this out. I will *exclusively* use Jive from now on. %martin This message posted from opensolaris.org
