I was able to sign in anew as instructed and set things for digest. They're coming in fine and now I don't have to see individual messages. However, the online archive has ceased. https://www.amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/ does not have anything since about Dec 5th. Dave AD7DB

New Mailmanager Failure
by amlist＠gobi-online.de 11 Dec '20

11 Dec '20

Hello, some hours ago I tried to sign up at the new mailmanager under my email address XXXXXXXXX.de I got this message in my browser: > Bestätigungs-E-Mail wurde an XXXXXXXX.de verschickt. > Bestätige deine E-Mail-Adresse > Wir haben dir eine E-Mail geschickt, um deine Adresse zu verifizieren. > Bitte folge dem Link in der E-Mail um den Anmeldeprozess abzuschließen. > Bitte kontaktiere uns, falls die E-Mail nicht in ein paar Minuten angekommen ist. Which says I will receive a confirmation mail to XXXXXXX.de. And I should contact you (who is "you", Amsat ? Kitty ?, to what address ?) if I don'tn't receive that confirmation email in a few minutes. Now, after about 1 hour still nothing arrived here! So, what can I do ? *) XXXXXX.de is just used here for protecting my real e-mail address from spam. -- 73 de Norbert, DF5DP -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen amlist(a)gobi-online.de mailto:[email protected]
