It's pretty simple:
Not having used this mailing list for a while, I went to
https://lists.postgresql.org/ to make sure my settings were as I wanted them.
I attempted to log in with the above eMail address, which is obviously part of
this list, since I receive messages to that address from this list.
All known passwords failed.
I clicked on the link to the "password reset" form, entered my above eMail address, &
pressed "Reset Password." The response was a web page that said I'd soon get an eMail for
resetting my password.
The rest is history. Meaning zero history (response). And yes, I did it twice to
make sure I didn't type the eMail address incorrectly (I cut & pasted the 2nd
time). I can try again if it will help (barring the usual definition of insanity).
That was six hours ago. Since it looks like I (now) have satisfactory access to
the list (I was moderated for a few hours), I will post (in a separate thread) my
PostgreSQL issue, & wait for the next full moon (26 days) for my password reset.
You do not appear to have an account under your ultimeth.com address,
or under the mailpen.com address you used in your first email.
However, if you have not used the website for a long time, it is
possible your subscription was migrated over from the old
installation, in which case it can exist without an email address.
This must be why I wasn't able to reset my password.
In
this case, you can just go ahead and create a new account with your
email address, and it will automatically get connected to your
existing subscriptions, and you will be set.
This important info should be mentioned at https://www.postgresql.org/list/
to eliminate a lot of angst and confusion.
