Sorry for posting it here on the list, but I don't know the right contact for technical questions. The problem is, for 3 weeks or so the mail.python.org site is not accessible for me. What can be causing this? This means I can't manage the mail delivery, subscribe or unsubscribe or open any mail archive page. I have no idea what is it. I've sent this question to Ethan Furman few days ago because I thought he is the moderator, but there was no answer from him. Mikhail

You can't access the archives, but you should be able to manage the rest by email. Try emailing <Python-ideas-request@python.org> with the word "help" (and nothing else) in the body of the email. See also: https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/node10.html -- Steve
