I tried “re-subscribing” recently from this gmail account. I got the “You have subscribed…” confirmations. But after trying to post never saw my message in the archive nor got any messages at all since. So tl;dr - agree that it seems busted at the moment.

I posted to their Slack - they said they are aware of Mailman issues, and are working on resolving.

anyone get vrrp working in trixie? i have been running it in bookworm for a long time. but trixie `/etc/network/interfaces` does not accept my bookwormish config which is
iface eno1 vrrp 6 198.180.150.126/25 2001:418:8006::126/64
but trixie complains as follows

Hi Randy, /etc/network/interfaces has nothing to do with FRR. I'd try a Debian forum. Taking a stab in the dark: have you installed the ifupdown2 package or are you using the ifupdown package? ifupdown doesn't support the vrrp keyword. FWIW, I get an identical error message from Bookworm. "iface something" without a method such as static or manual gives that error. AFAICT, the "vrrp" keyword is unhandled by ifupdown, so its presence in /etc/network/interfaces should be a noop. What results do you get from: ifconfig eno1 ip -6 link show eno1 ip -6 addr show eno1 I don't use VRRP on Debian so unfortunately I may not be able to help you directly. There does appear to be support for it in keepalived that doesn't appear to touch /etc/network/interfaces. Intuitively, I would expect the /etc/network/interfaces configuration to bring up the non-vrrp configuration on the interface while whatever you use to manage VRRP handles the VRRP details.

Just a quick add-on.... I'm currently trying to get it fixed. but not an expert on mailman. The issue happened when someone upgraded the server and all the packages. Should be fixed by this weekend. On a sidenote, our mailing list is a bit of a "2nd-class" citizen and somehow we didn't learn about this until a few days back. If you see any issue, best thing is to either open an issue on the FRR issue tracker (github.com/frrouting/frr) or ping us on slack Anyway, should be fixed soon. - Martin Winter (FRR Maintainer & TSC) On Wed, 14 Jan 2026, Randy Bush via NANOG wrote:

Didn't know there was a Slack channel ... I just tried joining, and it showed up in my app, but when I click on it, nothing happens. Not looking for Slack support, just curious if that's normal, say, if nothing has been posted since I joined.
