Here comes the Amazon Verification Email � Click the link in the
email, and that will verify your email address as valid with Amazon.
I will be flipping the switch tomorrow that restores the headers to
display the actual person and email address of the sender (which also
fixes the threading) J

*Subject:* [AFMUG] Adjustments to the AFMUG lists / Amazon
Well��
As you all probably are aware, PDMNet has been managing the AFMUG list
for Chuck and we have been using Amazon to do it. There were some
bumps to get it off the ground as Amazon has VERY specific/strict
methods that have to be adhered to in order to send email through
their servers. That has resulted in a few differences in the way the
list emails look/act with certain clients, and MUCH debate has gone on
about it on the list J
In early November, we used our test environment with Amazon to test
how things would work if we went the �Amazon verified email� method,
whereby each new subscriber to the list would first get prompted with
an Amazon email verification request, and then the AFMUG verification
email. This method seems to work just fine (we actively used it like
that internally for a week or so) and it handles all the backend
�stuff� just like we want it to.) The email headers then work like
they would in any other mail server.
We queried the AFMUG list and there was no resistance to us making the
changes and adding Amazon verification, but we just got slammed with
other projects and didn�t pull the trigger on the switchover. Since
November, all new subscribers to the list HAVE BEEN required to do the
Amazon verification as part of the AFMUG signup.
We are now ready to pull the trigger on the changes to get everyone
else Amazon verified so we can make the changes to the email headers, etc.
Here�s what will happen�.
All existing AFMUG subscribers that have not been Amazon verified
(most of you) will get an email by the end of today from Amazon to
verify your email address. The verification emails are good for 24
hours only. The email does NOT say anything about AFMUG
unfortunately, and we can�t change it so just be looking for it, check
SPAM folders, etc. Probably on Friday, we will turn on �normal
headers�. If you have not been Amazon verified at that point, you
will still get emails but if you send any emails to the list they will
NOT go through. We will monitor the changes closely and make any
adjustments that are needed along the way.
*To recap, you will get an Amazon verification email shortly. It�s
important. Follow the instructions please.*
