The com.lewscanon@lew email address is invalid. I tried to send it this email: If I remember correctly, the news feed is gatewayed off the mailing list, so it's possible for a message to the list to not appear in the group if it gets dropped at the gateway. Sorry if this is redundant info for you. If you don't wish to receive spam on your regular email address (understandable) then either switch to reading and posting with a gmail account (got lots of invites, just ask) or set up a separate account to receive emails from pgsql and set up spam assassin and (/ or) a couple of whitelists and use that. It's kinda rude to ask me a question on a mailing list with an email address I can't respond to. I spend time writing up an answer that only you needed to see, and then can't send it to YOU, but only the whole list.
