Hank complained that he did not receive the announcement mail. This does not necessarily mean that "the people in the RIPE NCC made some mistakes".
Mistakes happen, but in order to fix them we need to understand exactly what it was that did happen and why it happened that way.
I agree with this part...
The notices to the RIPE announcement list are irrelevant in this case.
To the contrary. Mail gets lost due to SPAM filtering or other reasons all day. Having Message-IDs enables people to figure out whether their mailserver has indeed seen the e-mail (and delivered it somewhere or dropped it), or not.
Can someone from RIPE NCC make a test posting to the ncc-announcements list to see if I get it? Thanks, Hank
