Hi all,

It appears that messages posted to google groups are not making it the  
ML again.

Can we please fix? Thanks.

Yep, it sure is broken. I'm also getting some sort of bounce messages?

The gateway has been one way for several days now. A quick trip to Google Groups shows it well. I had a lot of trouble with this during this weeks Ruby Quiz. Here's the two submissions that never came to the mailing list:

[http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/msg/65a71c96a50491e3](http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/msg/65a71c96a50491e3)

and

[http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/msg/3bcab05c47d47bc6](http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/msg/3bcab05c47d47bc6)

> Anyway: the gateway does not send bounce messages of any kind to anyone.

I too am seeing this odd behavior, whatever the cause.

One example: the recent thread on "priority queue using RBTree". My posts to the list went to the list and ng. The reply from Arah Howard was not forwarded to the list (I only found out about it because he addressed it to me as well).

Thanks!

I think I may have deleted all the bounces, I'll take a look. They're  
coming from a japanese qmail server that states the message has been  
in the queue for too long, To: my ruby-ml address. I don't think that  
I have return receipts turned on or anything.

Any word on the status of the gateway? Thanks.

It would be helpful if you (or anyone else receiving any bounces) would forward them  
to me (keeping all headers as they are), so I can check out if they really originate at the  
gateway.

To be clear though, these messages ARE showing up on the mailing list, then I get a bounce notice days later.

No quiz posts have been sent to c.l.r but not the ML yet.  
I see three solutions both ways:  
- Matthew Moss  
- Glenn Parker  
- Dave Burt

Apparently it's unidirectional : work only ruby-talk ==\> clr

See for example the thread

&nbsp;&nbsp;"[newby] class variables and class instance variable?"

I've seen this -- my impression has been that it's a symptom of  
the mailing list itself.

You are absolutely right, due to the fact that I was out of office  
for a few days, I didn't notice that I had left the script in "do nothing,  
just log what you would you" debugmode, stupid me!

Nonetheless, all missing postings from the group should reach the  
list in the next minutes.

Yes, those bounces are definitely not related to the gateway at all.  
I guess they result from a subscribes broken mta which is using the  
return-path to send the bounce to the original posted instead of the  
mailing list host.

Indeed they did, unfortunately in some arbitrary semi-inverse order 🙂

I already mailed the ml admins to remove that particular subscription,  
but didn't get any reply yet.

That paricular host (arch.dtop.jp) drops mail to postmaster, btw.

I think I missed your mail.

We don't have any subscribe member from dtop.jp. Maybe he is  
forwarding his mail.
