Mysterious list problems (Was: Re: REBOL may be in violation of MS patent...)

 [1/6] from: hallvard:ystad:oops-as:no at: 22-Nov-2004 20:17


Hi This is all very strange. Tom Conlin found three of my adresses subscribed (but on vacation) in the rebolist userdb. Unvacationing them didn't make any difference. I received all email from the list until... uh-oh, same date as this webpage was discontinued: http://rebol.net/list/index.html. Isn't this also the time where Carl S. sent some messages about changing the list name etc. for paranoia reasons? And strictly forbidding us to write the list's email address anywhere visible for spiders? (A bit vain, maybe, since pages like this appear: http://www.opensubscriber.com/messages/[rebolist--rebol--com]/). OK, so your messages take a day or two to appear. But at least they make it back to your mailboxes! :-) HY PS. All this said, I don't find it too hard following the discussions on rebol.org. And since my messages are accepted, well, I don't feel all that excluded anyway.

not very desirable, at least for me

....some messages need two days to appear both in my mailbox *and* at rebol.org which is a mystery too :-o

Re: Mysterious list problems


(Sunanda sent this to me and it hasn't appeared on the list yet - I received my own post right now, i.e. after one day) Hi Ladislav, I recently sent this reply to the ML about the problem. And it hasn't appeared!! To help with one of my theories, could you re-send it to the ML, assuming it hasn't appeared at your end within a couple of hours? Thanks, Sunanda ===== Subj: Re: [REBOL] Re: Mysterious list problems (Was: Re: REBOL may be in violation... Date: 27/11/2004 To: [rebolist--rebol--com] Ladislav:

There appear to be two problems (at least) right now with the mailing list. 1. Some messages seem to be being discarded by the ML software I attempted to send a reply to the PLUGIN Version differences thread yesterday. I sent it twice -- it has not appeared at all. A different reply from me did appear. 2 Some messages don't get to all users I can see (because I am subscribed to the ML in three different ways) that some messages appear to be sent to only some users. --- There is no pattern in any of this. Usually, a message will appear on REBOL.org within 3 hours -- that's about how often the automatic process is run when things are quiet (it runs more often if the ML appears to be active). But, as of yesterday, I've turned the automatic process off until we find out why it isn't being given all messages. It is definitely mysterious. I have some theories, but nothing that makes much sense. Sunanda

Yeah, I don't like exposed email addresses either. :-( There seems to be no contact address for www.opensubscriber.com so I don't know who to talk to about it. Anton.
