I follow cvs-all and the one of the very last messages was one from krion where he updated ghostscript-gnu. This was about 11:14 am on Sunday and nothing was received until I started kmail on mid-morning Monday. When this happens, what I do is browse the current mail list at http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/current/ If the last email on a list that you subscribe to is the same one that is in your inbox, it is probably safe to assume mailman has died and ignore the situation. Double or triple posting only generates snide remarks :). The plist for the updated ghostscript-gnu included an erroneous file and it was fixed without using mailman. Changes to the system continued it was just the email side that was hung up. Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
