Jim, I don't maintain this list, but, I am familiar with the mailman software used and I also run an ISP. I very much expect the problem is with your e-mail provider. I suspect the frequent messages coming from app_rpt-users is tripping a anti-spam filter system setup by your provider. If this problem persists, experimentally try a different e-mail provider (e.g. gmail.com). If this was a systemic problem, many, many users would be complaining that the list server was broken. ....I'm trying to help. 73, David KB4FXC On Mon, 7 Jul 2014, Jim W7RY wrote:

Please fix your stuff. I have no problems with my Email system. I never fail to get a message.

Or it might the same cause as I've seen on other lists..... The following from the Collins Collector list : ---------------- To our CCA List Customers It is time to make some adjustments with how we use, and perceive, the collins@listserve.com <mailto:collins@listserve.com> reflector. The rules of the "BIG GAME" are changing. The major ISPs have now adopted traffic handling and SPAM trapping rules and processes that make it much more difficult to freely pass reflector traffic on the internet. The result that we see most often is reflector posts that disappear out into nowhere (coming and going) and batch banning of one or more ISPs emails. Most recently all yahoo.com <http://yahoo.com> (including sbcglobal, bellsouth and AT&T), AOL and Comcast.com <http://Comcast.com> emails were blocked by these "rules" and the result was fatal bounces back to the listserve reflector - causing the listserve reflector to disconnect the yahoo, aol and Comcast email accounts involved. This results in a great deal of traffic for our IT support guys, and for me, whereas the problem is really centric to listserve itself - but caused by one or more of the big ISPs perceiving that listserve is SPAM - and blocking them. This may seem a bit complicated. It is.and the bottom line is that we no longer have control over fixing this. We are going to have to learn to live with it. As an email user, this should: a) Make you mad, and b) cause you to really question why you would want to use an email provider that is associated with a major ISP. The best solution to this entire mess - and it is a mess - is to go to an email account that is not associated with an ISP. We recommend gmail or Microsoft hosted exchange mail. In the long term, this means that if you - for some reason - switch ISPs, you will not have to change your email address at all. Bottom line (because it is now completely out of our control), we - the moderator and the list administrators - can no longer be responsible for fixing things when you are dumped from the listserve reflector because of bounces caused by your own ISP and their policies. We HIGHLY recommend particularly that everyone with a yahoo, aol or Comcast email address switch to gmail or hosted exchange by Microsoft. This goes way beyond your use of the reflector. Sorry for the bad news, but it is what it is. Like I said - times change. As a result of all of the above, we are also modifying the reflector rules and guidelines to document that we strongly suggest that those people that are now using a yahoo or Comcast email address not use the reflector with that address. We will also note, that because this is out of our control, we are no longer going to try and fix it. It is now up to you - the email user - to go bang your head against that door with your ISP. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail
