I've seen two today; one asking to be removed from the list, and one asking about RPMs of postgres-xc.

It's really annoying. OK, this has happened about three more times on the same thread. Here's my guess: nobody's moderating those postings. Somehow, the rules for moderation have gotten screwed up, and posts from people on other PG mailing lists are just being allowed through willy-nilly. Can someone please care about this? -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 7+ messages in thread

My guess is that it's someone who moderates many lists, and just checks the *contnets* of the mails. Which is perfectly on-topic for any other list, so it gets approved. And perhaps by somebody either not on this list, or not paying attention on this list :) > Can someone please care about this? I don't really know the mj2 config. AFAICT it's set up to moderate everything except for a very specific list of people. I can't actually figure out how to view that list of people :-), but it's "pgsql-announce:restrict".

Members are Marc Fournier, Robert Treat and David Fetter. The only one of those that I can imagine actually needs un-fettered access (pardon the pun) is David - but he's a moderator anyway. So, I've set moderate to yes for now, so all messages need to be moderated. If any more come through, someone isn't paying attention. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 7+ messages in thread
