Look at his e-mail address :-/
This won't be the first time I see problems with user coming from some
restrictive networks.

There is still another option: "d) Other" :-)
Many cuban users are not able to browse the web (they have Internet but
only e-mail access, no web browsing) so if that is the case, he cannot
review the mailing list posts using web archives and if he is not
receiving e-mails coming from external users (non *.cu addresses), he is
then stuck.
But I'm just guessing, true is that in the Spanish mailing list there are
some posts coming from him, but *not* replies.
