Hi,
Can someone explain this pls?
I sent ``subscribe mozilla@freebsd.org'' to majordomo and got the
following:
>>>> subscribe mozilla@freebsd.org
You tried to "subscribe" to a closed list "mozilla" at
Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG.
We have some closed lists:
Some lists that are aliases for other lists.
The list "test" is an alias for "freebsd-test".
If you tried to subscribe a list of this type,
please subscribe to "freebsd-mozilla" instead.
which I take it means my request was rejected because it is a closed
list. (BTW, I thought _all_ lists had an alias without the
``freebsd-'').
As instructed in the last line I sent
``subscribe freebsd-mozilla@freebsd.org''
and got back the confirmation message:
If you really want this action to be taken, please send the following
commands (exactly as shown) back to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG":
auth c87b0809 subscribe freebsd-mozilla marko@uk.radan.com
sent it as instructed. Then I received:
>>>> auth c87b0809 subscribe freebsd-mozilla marko@uk.radan.com
**** Address already subscribed to freebsd-mozilla
So what does all this mean? Was my first request rejected or not (I
only received and sent one confirmation).
How can I be subscribed already if I only sent the one confirmation?
Is ``mozilla'' and ``freebsd-mozilla'' the same list and are they
closed?
