This probably isn't the right place to report this, but I do not know a better one...

The controller addresses for the various mailing lists do not seem to work anymore:
[e-mail], [e-mail], ...

Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender

SMTP error from remote server after RCPT command:
host: neon.ruby-lang.org
5.1.1 <[e-mail]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

That means it's not possible to subscribe/unsubscribe right now.

I already count about 450 failed subscribe/unsubscribe requests through the subscription form on www.ruby-lang.org.

This started on 2013/08/06.

This can be closed.

Apparently the mailing list software was changed, the new "controller" addresses are [e-mail], etc.

The website should be updated, though: blade still reports that it's ctl.

I updated the crucial information on
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/mailing-lists/manual-instructions/

However, I do not have the time to do a more thorough rewrite right now
(this part of the site is not as concise as I would wish).

blade still reports that it's ctl.

I don't understand... :(

Sorry, by 'blade' i mean http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/

[stomar (Marcus Stollsteimer)]

I see :) I hope you do not mind me elaborating further:

At the bottom of e.g. http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/index.shtml, the

• "Help for this mailing list",
• "Mail to Mailing List's Controller", and
• "Join This Mailing List"

links are outdated.

blade is not maintained by the ruby-lang.org admins, but individual.
I will ask him to fix, but don't expect too much. His activity has been low for long time.
