Mersenne: Blocking of postings

Mersenne: SurfWatch tester needed

1999-04-22 Thread Gordon Irlam
Hi, I reported earlier how SurfWatch was blocking access to all my sites. When I sent out email on this topic, I didn't bother to first communicate with SurfWatch. At the time I was annoyed, and had the attitude: they don't have the courtesy to tell me they have been blocking my sites for the

Re: Mersenne: Digest #732?

2000-05-12 Thread Gordon Irlam
Was there an issue of the digest numbered 732? (My inbox jumps from 731 to 733, but I don't think I deleted it or ever got it.) If there wasn't, was it because of the wacky chaos which occurred in the mailing list? Digest #732 mainly consists of repeat postings. When the list blew up I

I'll try to keep this a little bit on-topic... Does this mailing list do any sort of virus scanning? I know you can't post to the list unless you're actually on the list, but any scanning going on? No there isn't any virus scanning going on. There is however a message limit that tends to
