Probably. If so, it's really annoying that mailman isn't telling you 
this via a "held for moderation" auto-reply. It should be.

Just so you know, as per PostgreSQL versioning policy major releases are 
x.y, eg "8.4", "9.0" and "9.1" are distinct major releases.

http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/

I've always found that pretty odd and wish major releases would just 
increment the first version part, but the policy states how it's being 
done. It's important to realize this when you're talking about Pg 
releases, because 8.4, 9.0, 9.1 and 9.2 are distinct releases with 
different feature sets, so "postgresql 9" doesn't mean much.
