two problems: usb-devel mailing list trouble, and automounting a usb

Hello Greg! I've subscribed to the usb developers list, but all mail I send to it gets bounced by the mailman as having been sent to the list-request address. Mail to me from the list appears as if it were
private (two party) mail for which I was on a bcc list. Only you &
Surekha are in the to & from fields. If you have a clue or pointer, please toss it my way.

More pressing problem: I run shrike (RH9, linux kernel 2.4.20-8), and attempt to automount a thumb drive (Kanguru Microdrive 128MB) that lsusb says is 0d7d/0120 Apacer. Currently I poll using system("grep -q usb-storage /proc/bus/usb/devices)".
This works as expected the first time. I then mount() and system("cat bigfile | bzip2 > /mnt/thumbdrive/smallfile") to compress bigfile onto the thumbdrive. Then I umount(). This all works fine the first time, sometimes second. By time the 5th attempt is made, /var/log/messages begins to get "kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout" messages, and "time lsusb" takes 15 seconds to run.

The file copy take proportionately longer, but completes.

What part of 'TFM' should I 'R'?

Re: two problems: usb-devel mailing list trouble, and automounting a

Apologies for the confusion in addressing this (previous) post. Mailtool configuration was the cause. It won't be the last embarrassment.
I use Novel GroupWise5.5 for a mail tool (company mandate) and it is severely brain-damaged IMHO. I now have the mailing list address correctly recorded. Problem 1 is cured.

Problem 2 remains.

You were using html, which is not allowed on the list. Please try it again.
