Unable to Subscribe to ding@gnus.org

[Xiyue Deng]

Hi,

I'm here to ask for status of subscribing to ding@gnus.org which
according to [1] is the mailing list for discussing Gnus developments.
However, I cannot subscribe to the list through ding-request@gnus.org or
ding-announcement-request@gnus.org as I didn't get any answer from these
request email address.  So I thought I might try to ask here in case
anyone knew about the situation or any ding admins might be hanging out
here and took a look.  Sorry if this is not the place to ask such a
question.  But if you have a pointer or can refer me to where I should
ask that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

I got a reply from Majordomo (majordomo@lists.math.uh.edu) when I
tried writing "help" to ding-request@gnus.org - it took a while due to
greylisting on both ends, but it did come through eventually.


  Best regards,

I have tried a few times over the past months, and I did another try
after receiving your email earlier this week, all ended up with no reply
at all.  I doubt that ding-request@gnus.org is blocking "@gmail.com"
domain, so my current guess is that the requests don't actually go
through.

Is there any way to get in touch with the mailing list admin?

What happens if you write to majordomo@lists.math.uh.edu and put
"help" in the body of the email?

The help text I got back has LISTNAME-owner@lists.math.uh.edu as the
address for the individual mailing lists and
majordomo-owner@lists.math.uh.edu for the entire setup.

So I would start by writing ding-owner@lists.math.uh.edu.

I tried it and as I didn't get any reply I forgot about it completely
until someone else asked me about it.  So it didn't work either
unfortunately.

I just send an email there.  Will see how it goes.

Ok - I just tried and got a reply, so it still works for me.


You can, by the way, read and send to the ding mailing list using the
group gmane.emacs.gnus.general on news.gmane.io via nntp, as a
workaround/substitute.

I tried posting to that group and that doesn't appear to work 
either.

It's quite strange.

Thanks and regards,
