Thread: Missing usenet messages. Was: A bit confused about Postgres Plus
Hi all, Thomas Kellerer wrote here <http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2008-12/msg00636.php> > [I'm reading this list through the newsserver at news.gmane.org, > and several answers did not seem to make it to news.gmane.org > but only to my private email] I am reading the Postgres lists through the "official" newsserver news.postgresql.org. But I have found the same problem: Some messages just don't appear. It seems like Alvaros message was sent only via private mail, because it does not show in the mailing list archive. I have configured the pgsql-performance mailing list so that I receive the emails. And I see some messages not turning up on the news server (don't ask me for exact numbers). So is this a configuration problem or is there something else going wrong? Rainer

It is on the archives, here: http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/20081217122802.GA4453%40alvh.no-ip.org As Dave said, it was sent to pgsql-www, and I think the newsserver doesn't carry that group (which is a bug that we've asked Marc to fix, but as all things Marc, it takes quite a while). Maybe I made a mistake and should have not taken pgsql-general out of the CC line. > I have configured the pgsql-performance mailing list so that I receive the > emails.

I don't think the news gateway is all that trustworthy nowadays. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

Yeah, the www list is not available. >> I have configured the pgsql-performance mailing list so that I receive the >> emails.

That's a pity. For me it's not so critical if I miss a few messages, but I could imagine Thomas and I are not the only ones using a newsreader program to follow the discussions on the mailing lists.
