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. > this is not a majordomo bug. It is.
