Does anyone know why, when I post to the lugnet.robotics newsgroups I
get two emails, one from payments-autoresponder@amazon.com and another
from mailer-daemon@google.com reporting a delivery failure.  Posting
to a lugnet newsgroup should not result in mail being delivered to my
email account.  Can someone in lugnet admin fix this problem?

Nobody had mentioned this, so I thought I was the only one!

Probably because the robotics group is connected to a mailing list
(since sometime in the 90s), and someone subscribed the wrong addresses
to that list.

Possibly deliberately, as the subscription process requires
confirmation.

The only thing that can be done from the lugnet POV, afaik, is to break
the gateway - not sure if that's a good idea or not though.

I have asked the gateway admin to investigate - I don't know what the
turnaround on this may be like.


Ttfn,
Tony
