I have sent a note to everyone at NetApp informing them that a single "Subscribe" message to a mailing list is seldom sufficient:

Subject: Subscribing to the Toasters mailing list From: hitz@netapp.com (Dave Hitz)

To absolutely ensure that you are subscribed to the list, it is usually necessary to send repeated "subscribe" messages. Otherwise the message may be lost or ignored.

Hopefully this will reduce problems going forward.

I doubt its the people making our precious netapps that are screwing up the subscribes ;) You can bet its the salespeople in the field is my guess. Luckily my salesperson was smart enough to subscribe correctly :-)
