From hansolofalcon at worldnet.att.net Mon Jan 24 14:21:21 2005 From: hansolofalcon at worldnet.att.net (Gregg C Levine) Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2005 23:21:21 -0500 Subject: [TUHS] Question for the List Manager/Owner Message-ID: <001d01c501cc$2f554240$6401a8c0@who5> Hello from Gregg C Levine Question: Will the list server drop subscribers, if they have not posted anything to the list? Or are other reasons taken into circumstances? Consider this, for any number of reasons, two of my e-mail addresses for this ISP are subscribed to this list, some time ago a posting arrived at Address #2, but Address #1 didn't receive it. Repeated queries to the list server's management site, didn't provide me with my password, nor did entering what I thought it was when I first subscribed to it, succeed. However my first clew that something was up, happened when it accepted my requests to rejoin it. So when you have the time to look into the matter, can you investigate. FYI, the address in doubt is this one. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon at worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

Mailman drops people from a list if repeated attempts to deliver e-mail to that address fail.

Can you send me, off list of course, the dates when the delivery failed for just this address? Here's the really strange part: I know reasonably close to certain, that practically nothing went wrong with my ISP's mail services during the time period covering this month, the previous three weeks. I believe nothing went wrong at all during the entire month of December. Oh, and I'm not doubting your talents, or your system's efforts, its for my ISP so they can properly convince their network management people, e-mail, and other stuff regarding things going wrong, or not. Incidentally two of the lists that I subscribe to, are configured to send out messages that invite people to confirm a numerical string that activates their subscription, which was disabled do to bounces. (However, typically nothing of a sort has happened. The Owner is having problems managing those two lists, and has no idea of what else to do.) ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon at worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

I'm now locked at home by the snow and can't access the DVD I had created with the expanded sources of TUHS, but it is certainly there. I would look into either Ultrix, SystemIII or any PWB release.

It is believed to be in the public domain. This is the heart of why AT&T's case against UCB fell apart (and AT&T's failure to comply with the BSD license). However, there's never been a final ruling to this effect and the law in the area is complicated.
