[gentoo-user] Mailing list problems

[Jamie Dobbs]

Are there issues with the mailing lists at the moment? I have made a few
posts in the last 2-3 hours that have yet to show up on the lists.
I've also noticed considerably less traffic on the lists in recent days,
could this be due to a general email slow down due to an increase in spam
email traffic?

you mean I'm not the only one who is suddenly receiving 100x more spam
about watches and other crap lately?

Nope, you are not alone.  I started getting those a little while ago 
two.  Funny thing is, the only watch I have is a cheap Wal-Mart one and 
I don't wear it unless I am going out of town to meet a lady.  If a 
watch costs more than $20.00, it better be for real and VERY accurate.  LOL

If that is the case, you are not having any problem; we've gotten the 3
repeat mails about this issue (I at least don't know how to solve it
though), but the reason the messages are not coming back to you is
because you used your GMail account.

Gmail discards the return of your mail from the list, because it already
has a copy of this mail (in your 'Sent' folder). You will never get
mails from yourself appearing in ML threads via Gmail for this reason
(until someone replies to them, which no one has in this case).

So there is no problem, you've just encountered a GMail 'feature'.

Of course.  Blame gmail.  Typical.  LOL
That is probably what it is... If you check the gentoo-user archives
it should appear there.

I would love it if Yahoo had the space GMail did. I hate google in general.
