similar to: R Mailing lists: "Sender:" now sometimes VERPs

Because of a lapsus on my side and then a problematic server re-boot at just the wrong time, the daily digest versions of the R mailing lists (see the lower part of http://www.r-project.org/mail.html) haven't been delivered in time, unfortunately. I'm sending this message just *before* starting the digest manually for today. I hope this won't happen anymore. Apropos, I'd like to

I'm forwarding this to R-help since it might be of wider interest.

This is (hopefully) a "once in ten years" event, happening today, from 17--19 CET (= 16--18 UTC = 11--13 US Eastern == 8--10 US Pacific Time) The main `vault' (security, air condition,..) where our mail server hypatia is located will undergo a major `network re-connection' event that will affect a considerable part of ETH -- including all the mailing lists

Hey, I have several thousand email addresses, the vast majority of which are definitely no good, and I want to figure out which are good. So I will send out an email to all the email addresses. By making a list of the ones that bounced, and comparing that list with the full list, I can determine which are still good. This is for a non-profit association -- I am not in the spam business.

We have locally collected good experience the last few weeks using procmail-spam filtering, inclduing spamassassin to the procmail filters. The last two spams that went past the majordomo filters (the "traditional ones I've been using) through to R-devel both were not delivered to me, be but caught by the filters. I have now collected a bit more of a week experience using the new scheme

We (mainly the R core team) have been discussing the creation of another R mailing list, with the goal to fill the gap between R-help very high volume, with its great merits, but.... and R-announce only for R important announcements (mostly R-core) hence __MODERATED__ and *very* low volume, and hence highly recommended for almost all users of R. *** all messages are forwarded

Dear mailing lists users, For some restructuring time, the R-help mailing list _archives_ are out of reach for a few hours (since 5 minutes ago). Also, many of you have seen duplication of some messages to the mailing list. This has been caused by a change to the mailman configuration I had done for speed-up reasons (and according to the docs) and mailman race-condition bugs that I didn't

Due to recabling of our main servers, there will be network interruptions coming Sunday, Sept 24. >From 10.00 CEST (Central European Summer Time) = UTC+2 a few hours intermittent up to at most 18 o'clock {the hope being that everything will be finished much earlier}. 10 - 18 CEST aka MET = 8 - 16 UTC (formerely "Greenwich Mean Time") = 4 - 10 Eastern (US)

In order to prevent viruses being posted on the R (or ESS) mailing lists, I've disallowed binary attachments (of the "octet-stream" kind) as of 15 minutes ago. BTW, the case of Jan.10 was a typcial "MS Outlook address book" one. I've received automated e-mails from about 20 sites where the mail delivery server auto-detected the virus and didn't deliver it to

A few of you have expressed the desire for a "digest" subscription to the R-help and/or R-devel mailing lists. {This may be especially useful if you leave for vacation etc}.

I appreciate Brian and Martin's answers -- and I certainly don't spend as much time & energy maintaining and answering questions about R as they do -- *but* it does seem to me that it would make a number of new (switching) user's lives easier if there were a succinct list of these differences, with a disclaimer ... I would be willing to maintain such a list, but since I

During the last 24 hours or so, quite a few e-mails have been delayed for the R-help (and in one case the R-announce) mailing lists. The double posting of "New version of ipred package" to R-announce is my fault, not the posters. I apologize for all inconveniences. The reason is a mail server upgrade and reconfiguration. This should all be past now and the delayed mail hopefully soon

I've already fixed the bugs, but as with the last one, this is not critical enough to allow breaking current R-devel's code freeze. I hope I will have corrected it for 1.5.1.. ## Here is code reproducing the problems; ## I use try(.) whenever I know the current versions of R would ## give an error: library(splines) x <- c(1:3,5:6) y <- c(3:1,5:6) (isP <- interpSpline(x,y))#
