[gentoo-user] RE: I'm not getting gentoo list emails anymore?

[Daevid Vincent]

I had a bit of a debugging brainstorm this morning... I tried to subscribe
from one of the virtual hosts on my server (I protected the name below to
avoid spam). That "worked". And by "work", I mean, that the mlmmj list sent
me back an email. So this tells me it is NOT my server configuration or IP
address. It is NOT something I am doing wrong (command or what have you). It
is most definitely something with the mlmmj list software and my particular
daevid@daevid.com address.

I looked at the mlmmj "site" (and that is an extremely generous term for
this page http://mlmmj.mmj.dk/), and it had nothing useful in terms of
commands I could try -- since 'help' doesn't even respond.

Well, according to http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/176367
my last post just went through, so clearly my unsubscribe commands aren't
even being received/executed either.

Just to verify, I have tried both: 
"gentoo-user+unsubscribe@lists.gentoo.org" and
"gentoo-user+unsubscribe@gentoo.org"
(does it matter if I use "list." or not?)

(And to clarify, I don't wish to actually unsubscribe, I'm merely trying to
get mlmmj to reply back to me or clear my 'bits' in case something was
toggled to not send me mail)

Could the list admin check the /var/log/mail/* logs and look for
'daevid@daevid.com' and see if there are any error messages or anything?
Something that might shed some light as to what's happening here.

This is very bizarre that I can post to the list a normal email, but not a
command one, and not receive back anything. It really feels like something
specific to my actual email address and mlmmj. I tried to subscribe via my
work account (which I only use for testing as a backup email for situations
like this) and I got a response instantly to confirm.

*sigh*

I'm hoping for a Christmas miracle here...

Something in definitely strange...

I turned off my Mailhop Outbound service and sent the mail directly via
exim:

I tried to subscribe to a list that I know I'm not already in (the osx one).

I turned off .procmailrc (no recopies and full logging)

daevid exim # grep gentoo /var/log/mail/current 
Dec 24 13:21:31 [exim] 2006-12-24 13:21:31 1Gyamg-0006aw-2F =>

Dec 24 13:31:22 [exim] 2006-12-24 13:31:22 1GyawC-0006c2-Va =>

H=mail.gentoo.org [140.211.166.183] X=TLSv1:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:256

I'm running out of ideas. As you can see, NOTHING is coming back to my
server. I should at least see something in the log there with an <= arrow
from the gentoo.org server.

I get all other mail from several lists and for several different users on
this system.

daevid exim # ping gentoo.org
PING gentoo.org (204.74.99.100) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- gentoo.org ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 4015ms

But its not unusual for someone to drop ping packets (I do it too for
security reasons)

Would the list admin please double check the mlmmj list tools and see if
there is some setting for my email address that says 'nomail' or 'suspended'
or something like that... Is my email even showing up in the list (or did my
unsubscribes go through). Does the list use any kind of RBL?
