[R-390] List Administration Notes

[Lee Bahr]

Don:
I was going to ask you for Al Waller's mailing address but I found it by
looking K3TKJ up on the "qrz.com"  call sign lookup. I didn't list it here
because I don't know if that would be proper.  Thanks for the "heads up"
info.  This is a great list and group.

> Hello, R-390 list members.  Welcome to the *many* new members.
>
> Allow me to take a moment away from the topic at hand, and introduce
> myself to the new members. I am the R-390 mail list manager.  My job is
> to help you with subscription problems if the automated signup/signoff
> process falls down, or some other email issue arises and causes
> problems.  Sometimes it takes a hammer and a bit of detective work to
> unwedge the mailman software.
>
> In return for the use of this resource, the long standing members and I
> ask you to participate according to the published guidelines.  There is
> a link at the bottom of every post for that information.  Let's maintain
> the quality of this list that we maintain and enjoy in our receivers.
> We've had some great posts recently, including a lot of useful and new
> information.  Thanks all.
>
> Weird stuff is happening in the email world this week.  A new virus
> targeted to Windows email programs (some call it Outbreak) and new spam
> mail snafus contribute to list mail delivery being out of order,
> delayed, and bouncing.  I've seen hundreds of bounces from the list
> server the last two days.  Some providers have noticeably turned up the
> spam and white list filters.  Some of you will no doubt be automatically
> bounced from the list if your mail host's reject rate gets too high.
> You will need to re-subscribe if that happens.  I don't expect these
> problems to go away for a few weeks until everyone adjusts.

> Al Waller (owner/provider of the server where this list resides) and his
> crew are working behind the scenes to keep everything working.  It's a
> Herculean task with the many free lists he supports.  You can help by
> sending donations to Al.  You get a monthly reminder.  A small donation
> once a year helps immensely.  I contribute $25 every summer.
>
> Thanks for your attention.  Carry on.
