Marc said yesterday that he'd been forced to rebuild the subscriber list
for pgsql-general. Sounds like your NOMAIL preference got lost in the
shuffle :-(. You should be able to reconfigure it the way you want by
issuing the appropriate command to majordomo.

AFAIK the comp.databases.postgresql newsgroups are not recognized Usenet
groups, because no one ever bothered with going through the standard
voting procedure for them. Accordingly, they won't be present on
servers that are maintained by-the-book. You'll need to find a server
whose newsadmin has specifically chosen to carry them.
