[Dxbase] Some helpful hint from your DXbase Reflector admin - pse read

[Joseph Glockner]

To all:

I have run into a few things recently with regards to the Reflector
and wanted to share with you a few helpful hints - in case you are
running into a problem:

Scenario #1 --

You are subscribed under a email "forwarding" service (like-  arrl.net).
And, you want to definitely receive emails from the Reflector to
THAT email address -- BUT, you want to send email to the Reflector
from your house ISP or business ISP email address - but, you DO NOT
want to receive Reflector emails at that/those email addresses.

(a) Subscribe as normal - with your house/business ISP email
     address - then, when you receive the "confirm" email at your
     ISP email address - and this only takes a minute or so --
     then go back to the webpage where you subscribed at, and
     scrolldown to the bottom area where it says:


      Dxbase Subscribers
      (The subscribers list is only available to the list members.)

      Enter your address and password to visit the subscribers list:


      Once you enter you email and password, you are into an area
      where YOU can change ALL of your preferences..

      AND, one of the choices is called "Mail delivery" -- just change
      that option from Enabled  to  Disabled..

      Don't forget that you DISABLED it (for future reference).. Submit
      your changes.. AND, from then on, you CAN send emails to the
      Reflector from your house/business email address, but you will NOT
      receive emails to your House/Business email address.

Scenario #2 --

Your email service send your emails into the Reflector using HTML.
In this case, the Reflector automatically REJECTS your email(s).

(a)   Change your preferences at your email originating source
       (like possibly-  yahoo.com  or hotmail.com) ..

(b)   If that doesn't work at all -- and you do have a normal ISP
       email address that you can use to send emails to the Reflector
       from (like your house/business) ..  Simply follow the SAME
       steps as noted in Scenario #1 above..


One NOTE:  Be sure to watch out for the SPAM filters that some
            ISP's or webmail services have -- I say this because
            my own "Confirm" email to my yahoo.com email address
            "dumped into my JUNK folder" -- I am sitting there
            waiting for the confirm email -- only to realize later
            that it was sitting in my JUNK folder.. Oh well!!


DXbase Users - pse note that I (like you) am just a DXbase user
                -- who happens to have "volunteered" for the DXbase
                Reflector Admin duties.. I will help when I can.
