[Elecraft] [Fwd: Re: Elecraft list users in UK being blocked]

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

I just received the following from Tim, the list administrator at 
qth.net, who provides the free list server for the Elecraft list.

In general , it looks like once you are subscribed to the list for 24 
hours with a new address, you should automatically be white-listed, 
eliminating any global spam blocking of your elecraft list postings. 
This type of blocking may occur though in the first 24 hours after a new 
address is subscribed.

Also, it is always a requirement that you post to the list from the 
-exact- same email address that you subscribed with. Any other will be 
blocked as a spam source. (We get hundreds of those attempting to post 
every day.) If you wish to use multiple addresses to post, just 
subscribe each one and then set your email preferences page to 'no mail 
delivery' for those that you will only be sending from.

Eric,

Anyone that is subscribed is white listed within 24 hours of their 
subscription.  If they try to post with an email address that isn't 
subscribed to your list, it won't get posted anyway until you do 
something about it. 

There is no other way that I know of to deal with this other than to 
just let the spam in.

Tim
