[SOLVED] Not able to post to arch-general

I cannot seem to be able to post to arch-general@archlinux.org. I've been receiving messages from this list and a couple of days ago I was able to reply. But I made two attempts to post a new thread in the past 24 hours and nothing came out.

The list is rather slow in these past 24 hours too. Is there something wrong, or is it something on my side?

I probably made this post longer than it should only because I lack the time to make it shorter.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED] Not able to post to arch-general

From what I can tell, your mails are being delivered to mailman properly, the last one about 16 hours ago.

Oh, damn sad
That means you folks have been flooded with my emails. This is my third one. I can't see them on Thunderbird so I thought something else was wrong.

Re: [SOLVED] Not able to post to arch-general

I am not saying that I see them on arch-general, I just see some mails in the postfix logs. Your last mail in my arch-general folder is almost two days old.

Ah, ok. I was about to comment on that. Because I couldn't see them on mailman.

Reply to your own topic and see if you get it.

You probably will not receive your own topic-starting e-mails to the list unless it's a reply to an existing one or someone else has replied. You can log into mailman and tick "receive own e-mails" or something like that.


I need real, proper pen and paper for this.

That setting has been On since I first subscribed and edited my settings.
I've been avoiding issuing replies to other people's threads in the list since I don't want to bother anyone with a test post.But I cannot reply to my own post since... it's not there smile

EDIT: Just tried to reply to Wonder's test mail. No dice. So somewhere since after my last message to this list (Tue Aug 3 13:43:02 EDT 2010) I lost my ability to post to arch-general.

And again:

No idea why mailman doesn't handle them.

Re: [SOLVED] Not able to post to arch-general

Ah, thanks for that log. I think it explains it all. See the problem?

Aug  5 13:34:01 gudrun postfix/cleanup[8611]: 08AF17800C: message-id=<4C5AF5F0.2070705@quiettech.org>
Aug  5 13:34:01 gudrun postfix/qmgr[550]: 08AF17800C: from=<xxxx@gmail.com>, size=2820, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

It must be the gmail SMTP server that is altering the sender to my gmail account and consequently I lose my credentials for mailman. I'll see what happens when I change to my own smtp (I don't use it often because it conflicts with my gmail account that I also manage from the same email client).


(Meanwhile, would be you be so kind and obfuscate that gmail address in your quote too? Cheers.)

Re: [SOLVED] Not able to post to arch-general

Okies. Thanks a bunch for the help brain0.
Changing the SMTP server did it.
