Hello,

I have tried multiple times to subscribe to the bioc-devel list by filling
out the web form (https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel) but I
have never received a confirmation email (I have checked the Spam folder as
well). After checking again, I am still not in the list.

I am not sure what the problem is. Could you please help me? Is there
another way of subscribing to the list?

Thank you,
Eleni

Did you also fill the 'Captcha' ?

This had been an important addition for security;  as we had
spammers (auto-) subscribing to some of the R mailing lists, and
then spamming whoever *posted* to the list (and reusing their
subject and other tricks as to pass any spam filters).

Last but not least:  You *are* subscribed to the list now.

Best regards,
Martin

Martin,

Thank you very much for your response.
It turned out that the confirmation emails were being blocked by the email
servers. The ITS released the emails and I was finally able to subscribe.

Kind regards,
Eleni
