I don't receive ding mails anymore

I don't receive ding mails anymore

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi all,

some weeks ago I've unsubscribed from ding with my old email address and
subscribed again using the address above.  Since then, I don't receive
any ding mails anymore (but I can post by sending email to the list
address).

I tried sending another subscription request mail but then I don't get a
response anymore, probably because I'm already subscribed.

Does anyone have access to the mailing list configuration and can check
if something's wrong?  Maybe I'm subscribed with "no mail delivery"
option set or so...

Just to exclude an error on my side: the address above is actually
redirected to some other address using procmail.  My ~/.procmailrc on
the GNU server just has this single entry:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
:0
* .*
! other@email.address
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That should redirect everything to the other address, right?  (At least
it seems to work just fine for all other mails I receive via that
address.)

Bye,
Tassilo

Have you tried leaving out the conditional match?

You mean, just this?

:0
! other@email.address

No, I didn't try it, but I'll do so now and report back.

Ok, tried it and it seems to work fine when testing with a mail from my
university address to my GNU address.  Now let's see if I receive this
message also from the ding list...

Nope, I don't receive it from the ding list.  So it's most likely not an
issue with my overly simple procmail setup but rather an issue with ding
itself.

I successfully receive mailinglist mails to my gnu address from a bunch
of mailinglists including emacs-devel, gnu-prog, gnu-prog-discuss,
several google groups based lists, some lists hosted at librelist, etc.
It would have been strange if procmail does the right thing for all of
those except ding, anyway...

Well, that address isn't subscribed to the mailing list, nor has it ever
been subscribed.  As far back as my logs go I see no subscription
request for that address.

So, if you want to receive mail, I suggest subscribing.  If you're
having trouble subscribing, contact me directly and don't bother the
rest of the list members.

Indeed, now the issue is solved.  My error was that I've sent
subscription requests to ding-request@gnus.org with subject "subscribe",
but the "subscribe" has to be in the body of the mail.

Maybe that should be clarified on http://www.gnus.org/resources.html
which doesn't say anything concerning that.
