Do *NOT* send test emails to the list. If you think that you're not getting emails, or your posts aren't making it to the list, follow this friendly advice.

1) Check the archives. If there's nothing there, that should tell you the lists are a) under maintenance, b) having problems. Either way, rest assured that the OpenBSD listserv administrator already knows about it.

2) Check your subscription to the list (http://lists.openbsd.org/). Maybe you've been tweaking your settings recently and changed your delivery options.

3) Check your own mailserver. Are you getting mail normally? This is probably the least likely, unless you really are having other mail problems.


REGARDLESS, DO NOT SEND TEST EMAILS TO THE LIST. Nobody wants your spam. Least of all the rest of the members who have to routinely wade through the noise ratio that has increased exponentially of late. As I mentioned in #1, the list administrator will certainly be aware of any problems much earlier than you could have.
