I have no clue who to ask about this soo...

I subscribed to the GWN (along with a couple other of the gentoo newsletters) but other than the conformation email I've NEVER recieved any of the newsletters.
I've guessed that maybe the account I used for it has some spam/bulk mailing filters that block it, but unfortunatly I do not know which email account I had used now, nor which newletters I signed up for for sure, lol.

Is there anything I can do (someone who can help?) to help get things straightened out other than trying to unsubscribe all of my email addresses from all of the lists, and then carefully signing up with one that shouldn't block it (and test) ?

Unfortunately, no. Our mailing lists (especially the GWN one) have thousands of subscribers, so trying to isolate one unknown email account is somewhat problematic.

I did a quick search on 'drakonite' on the GWN list -- nothing was subscribed under that name.

Well, I could narrow it down to three or four addresses ;) All of them are drakonite@something.or.another.com so if drakonite didn't show up anything I'm guessing it's gone ;)

I take it it automagically removed me from the list? That's actually pretty nice... Thanks for the help.

If the message bounced, ezmlm (our mailing list manager) would have removed it automatically, so that's likely what happened. :)
