[R-390] List Administrivia (was Anybody there?)

[Don Reaves W5OR]

This is essentially off topic, but does concern the mechanics of the list,
and Mike is correct.  In attempts to deal with spam many ISPs (your network
provider) use aggressive filtering and sometimes mailing lists get
mis-identified.  The larger consumer type network providers (cable, DSL) and
'free' mail hosts frequently do that.  You might have to check that the
lists to which you have subscribed are not being dumped into a bulk mail or
junk mail bin.  If you need to specify a white list or an unblocked address,
email from the R-390 list always broadcast from
r-390-bounces at mailman.qth.net.  This problem is seen more frequently now
that newer email client programs attempt to provide additional spam
filtering help.  

Also, the mail server software will automatically unsubscribe a user if his
mail bounces or is rejected too many times.  Rejection occurs for many
reasons but the most frequent are mailboxes over quota, and mail servers not
responding.  I see two or three automatic unsubs a week.  If that happens to
you, get the problems fixed and re-subscribe.  As always, I can help with
subscription problems.  mailto:w5or at comcast.net

I've cc'd this note to Bob in case posts from the list are in fact being
blocked.
