It does work for me now, and probably for you too. :-)
All email to @postgresql.org addresses go into this email system:
http://webmail.postgresql.org/imp/login.php
I used to have a .forward file in my shell home directory so all email
went to my pgman@candle.pha.pa.us address, but when I started getting a
lot of spam from momjian@postgresql.org, I removed the .forward file, so
I was unsure where my email was going. When Josh Berkus wanted to use
the momjian@postgreql.org address for press contacts, I had to get it
working again. I logged into that web account and had +99% spams.
Since Marc has added procmail spam tags, I have now re-added my .forward
file, and use the procmail tags Marc adds to help my system learn about
spam before discarding the email.
