Subject: [exim] Missing Web Site & Link Request

Here are 2 items:

Wanting to change my email address to tackle the eventual spam caused by
my email address appearing on this mailing list (I usually replace the
sub-domain which promptly invalidates MX lookups), I looked on
www.exim.org and clicked on:-

    Mailing Lists about exim


I opened that frame http://www.exim.org/maillist.html in a new tab.

The helpful subscribers page that allows me to quickly and easily change
my email address was not there.

I clicked on:-

    exim-users


and got http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users which seems
for new people to subscribe.

At the bottom of the page is a section "Exim-users Subscribers"

"(The subscribers list is only available to the list administrator.)"

Entering one's email address and password produces "Exim-users roster
authentication failed."

Returning to the previous page, I tried the last thing at the bottom of
the page:

"To unsubscribe from Exim-users, get a password reminder, or change your
subscription options enter your subscription email address:"

I clicked on "Unsubscribe and Edit Options" and got:-

    http://lists.exim.org/mailman/options/exim-users/


Brilliant exactly what I needed.

Please can we have a plain and simple link, placed in a conspicuous
location, marked "Subscribers Admin" or something equally informative?

Ideal places would be:-

    (1) in its own sub-section on http://www.exim.org/maillist.html
headed "Changing Subscribers Details".


    (2) on http://www.exim.org/maillist.html in the exim-users paragraph.

Amongst the mailing lists email headers I found:-

    List-Id: A user list for the exim MTA <exim-users.exim.org>


A trace route (using WS_Ping ProPack from 2000) ends up with a dead
connection in Belgium at host-212-68-215-114.brutele.be

Searching lon1-dns1.nildram.net for a DNS A record for
exim-users.exim.org produces NAME_ERR.

Please can this mailing list link be revised ?

Thank you.

Paul.
