I am not getting messages after subscribing a while ago, also. I just sent an email to talk-subscribe@gtalug.org as suggested on your web page, but have never gotten any feedback as to whether my subscription was successful.

I see Clive's address on the list of members of the new list, but not Paul's, so there is some kind of difference between the issues you are having. Note that we are using Mailman for the new list, which has the consequence that there is a particular "two phase commit" to the process of subscribing; you should expect to get a message indicating that an application for that address has been added, and that you should visit an approval URL as the approximation to indicate that it "really was you" that did so. It is possible that some over-exuberant spam filters might mark the administrative messages from the mailing list manager as "spam"; that should not come as super-surprising in this world where MOST email is apparently spam. It might prove simpler to interact with the mailing list software via the web interface; visit <http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk>. Clive appears to already be fully added to the new list, so when there is traffic, I'd expect Clive to see that. (Indeed, this message is being sent to both lists, so Clive might well see two copies.) I could add Paul "by hand" to the list, though it seems to me as though it is preferable to retry, and perhaps figure out what problem was preventing subscription to work. I will observe that the new list hasn't been vastly active, so it's possible that Clive happened not to see any traffic. -- When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
