    _______________________________________________________


I am not able to subscribe to mailing lists on savannah using a
gmail.com-address. I enter my address "address@hidden" together with
the password information.



The subscription is then rejected with the following reason: "Your
subscription is not allowed because the email address you gave is insecure."



I am now subscribed to qemu-devel thanks to Rusty Russell (project admin or
something) - he subscribed me using "mass" subscription.



FYI, the same thing happens with sourceforge.



If you need an invitation to gmail to solve this let me know.



Thanks,



/ magnus

Sigh...



I used a comma instead of a period.



I need new glases, bigger monitor or a sharper brain.



Thanks.

That I did not confirm the subscription? Well, I have not received any email
to confirm. So yes and no. =)



Please, try to subscribe me to any list at savannah using the address info in
the original submission.



I first thought it had something to do with spaces at the end of the email
address, but I dont think that is the issue  anymore, I have typed in the
address manually three times now, and well - _now_ it works! But I am not
able to repeat it, I wonder if this is some problem with firefox...



I subscribed to two gnome lists earlier today, that worked.



Thanks,



/ magnus

Michael, who has a gmail.com address, tried, and got no problem. Jim from the
mail system administration suppose that you didn't confirm your subscription
appropriately.



What do you think?
