If you have received notification that subscription has been completed, simply send an email message to pkgsrc-users@. Within minutes, you should see it appear on any of the archive sites which archive pkgsrc-users@ although verifying that the message reaches an archive site is not mandatory.

The point here is that mailing lists are simple. You know the address of the list, you have successfully subscribed, so now you can post messages, & you can continue to post messages until:
  • you either unsubscribe
  • the mailing list administrators terminate the list or forget to pay the electric bill
  • or for whatever reason, they unsubscribe your address.
Note that I am not specifying the domain in this message. This is intentional, as spammers can scrape Web pages harvesting email addresses for their nefarious exploits. Obviously when you send email to pkgsrc-users@, you will need to provide the domain name too.
