#38305 [Opn]: unable to subscribe to mailing lists

ID: 38305 User updated by: pear dot user at gmail dot com Reported By: pear dot user at gmail dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: "They manage to figure it out." If the problem is with gmail, there's not much to "figure out". If it's just that I'm incompetent, it can be proved quite easily by simply signing pear.user@gmail.com up... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-06 00:53:21] pear dot user at gmail dot com I've tried this with Yahoo! accounts, as well, without much luck. Regardless, I've just created a pear.user@yahoo.com and pear.user@hotmail.com account. Their passwords are the same as pear.user@gmail.com's password. Hopefully I'll have better luck with these. I've also contacted the Gmail Team at Google informing them that they have a potential problem on their end. Whether or not they actually have such a problem is something they'll be far better able to determine than me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-05 15:17:27] rasmus@php.net We are not going to debug gmail for you. I did a test where I simply sent a message to pear-general-subscribe@lists.php.net with the word "subscribe" in the subject. Then when I got the confirmation email, I replied to that and a minute later I got a message with: Acknowledgment: I have added the address rasmus@lerdorf.com to the pear-general mailing list. Welcome to pear-general@lists.php.net! Please save this message so that you know the address you are subscribed under, in case you later want to unsubscribe or change your subscription address. To unsubscribe, send a message to: <pear-general-unsubscribe-rasmus=lerdorf.com@lists.php.net> Why it doesn't work from gmail, I have no idea. Dozens of people subscribe and unsubscribe every day. They manage to figure it out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-04 17:43:26] pear dot user at gmail dot com I see that 1 of 3 people have managed to reproduce this, yet I don't see any "WELCOME to pear-dev@lists.php.net" email in pear.user@gmail.com's inbox. Are people deleting this email? Or maybe they're just not reproducing this problem as faithfully as they should be? There's no excuse for the latter since I provide the username *and* password. If it's the former, then maybe someone would be so kind as to say something. Further, unless you're going to *give* me your email account, I'm not really interested in whether or not other email accounts can get subscribed. The point is *I* can't. And this is far from the first account I've tried to subscribe with (indeed, the creation of an account who's password I was willing to give away freely was the culmination of earlier - failed - attempts to subscribe) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-03 03:54:15] pear dot user at gmail dot com Description: ------------ A month ago, I created an account - pear.user@gmail.com - in an attempt to sign up for the PEAR mailing lists. I've since tried, multiple times, to sign up, and have been unable to do so. I've emailed systems@php.net twice and have heard nothing. The password to my account - pear.user@gmail.com - is pass12. Feel free to log in and verify the problem for yourself. The Sent Mail folder and my Inbox document my attempts. Now, I'm sure that whomever reads this will not have this problem when they try to register, but that's not of much help to me... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38305&edit=1
