Apologies if the mail I sent earlier resulted in a little
misunderstanding. This is the notice that I received, with information on
what changed. This may or may not be the reason why some people didn’t
receive messages, but I don’t run the mailing list/newsgroup, so I’m not
the man with the answers

Subject: [SDL] New mailing list/newsgroup
The old mailing list is officially defunct, and we no longer have access
to the old system to turn it off.
Please unsubscribe from the surfnetcity mailing list by sending e-mail
to sdl-unsubscribe at surfnetcity.com.au
Please subscribe to the new mailing list by sending a message containing
the line “subscribe sdl” to majordomo at lokigames.com
The messages sent to the old mailing list will be forwarded (silently)
to the new mailing list, but not vice versa, so if you ask a question
and would like a reply, you should join the new mailing list.
The new mailing list has a news gate way at:
news://news.lokigames.com/loki.open-source.sdl
The gateway is both-ways, so messages from the mailing list will appear
on the newsgroup, and messages posted to the newsgroup will appear on the
mailing list.
Thank you all for your patience - the SDL community is growing!
Oh, archives… if you want to search the old archives, you have to
send mail to the old list server. New messages can be browsed either
via the newsgroup, or by hypermail at:
http://www.lokigames.com/ml/sdl/
Enjoy!
