Oh, I'm very sorry for the confusion. When I said "I", I
really did not mean myself but the local newsgate (I prefer
to read the lists via NNTP, which is very convenient).
The newsgate is "newsgate@atlantis.rz.tu-clausthal.de".
I sent both the "which" and the "subscribe" commands under
that address, when the problem occured that I described in
my previous mail (see above). I'm pretty sure that I didn't
do anything wrong.
Here's the whole story:
- I sent a "which" command from the newsgate account.
- Got a response with about 30 lists to which that account
is subscribed.
- Compared those lists to the lists that the newsgate
is prepared to handle (and to which it was once subscribed).
- Noticed that three lists were missing: announce, arch, and
security-notifications.
- Sent "subscribe" commands for those three lists to the
majordomo, again using the newsgate account.
- Re-subscription to the -arch list was successful. For the
other two lists, I received a notice that I (the newsgate
account) was already subscribed.

It is.
