You have my deepest sympathies. I've been trying for over a year via messages to postmaster@merit.edu and others, to get rs@tiny.sprintlink.net taken off the nanog list (I left Sprint last July). I get mail as rs@digex.net directly, and I get mail forwarded to me via Sprint, which means that I get two copies of everything that comes along. Problem is, the folks at Merit consistently deny that rs@tiny.sprintlink.net is on the list, though if you telnet to merit.edu's smtp port and EXPN the list, you see rs@tiny.sprintlink.net there, plain as day. Well, you used to be able to. Now if you telnet to merit.edu port 25 and say "expn nanog", the expn will eventually time out. This situation wouldn't be so bad if I could have an ongoing dialog with the Merit folks until we got things straightened out, but the standard MO seems to be to ignore the mail for three weeks to a month before sending back a claim that I'm not on the list and never have been. Then when I respond to that message, it goes in the bit bucket. I went through three iterations of this, and then gave up and wrote an incoming mail action to simply delete all duplicate messages in my nanog mailbox. It's simpler. Since all other mailing lists I used to subscribe to have propagated to rs@digex.net and NANOG mail is the only mail to me that routinely traverses Sprint, it crossed my mind to ask Sprint to point all mail for rs@tiny to nanog@merit.edu, but that seemed a little mean-spirited. :) ---Rob
I've tried nanog-request@merit.edu, it's no a valid address, and I've tried majordomo@merit.edu, ditto. I need to change my subscription to point to my new address.
In case anyone's reading this that can do it, I subscribed to this list as either:
patrick@amdahl.com patrick@oes.amdahl.com or pjh70@eng.amdahl.com
Starting Monday, my address will be:
patrick@verity.com
Thanks, and we return you to regularly scheduled business;)

patrick and rob, we have been changing to smart list and it appears that its not living up to its name. we will look into this problem, and hopefully will resolve the registrations problems that you list. sorry for the inconvenience. --elise

The nanog list is not under smartlist yet. The reason that it doesn't expand is because it's got a bogus address in it. Trying 35.1.1.42... [merit.edu] 550 techs-175... User unknown Expand fails
