Thanks Tim. I will try accessing the server directly. There was a Postfix update released on the 18th February, and perhaps it is the culprit. Glad to know I do not have to wade through the issue with everyone else on the path.

I have the same problem with replying via email. I posted a reply to Don Friedman's message some days ago and realized later that it went directly to him rather than the group. When replying to your message here, I had to manually change the reply address to keep from answering you directly. It appears that the following line is missing from recent headers: Reply-To: [email protected] That kinda sounds like it might be something changed in the configuration of the list server. FWIW, using OE's newsgroup reader, though, I'm still getting messages through gmane with no problem. I've got it set up to access the news.gmane.org server directly. Tim Rude ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Hancock <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2012 4:01 PM Subject: [Dataperf] Posting's reply address Hi Everyone, I have an email addressing and header problem with emails and newsgroups reader from the DP group. Since the 20th February 2012 if I click reply in Outlook 2003 to a posting email, instead of the reply addressing ('To:' field) being the 'DataPerfect Users Discussion Group', the "To:" address is the actual address of the original sender. I can of course override this and replace it with the '[email protected]' address, but it is annoying, since clicking reply works for all messages up until this date but if I click a later dated one it exhibits the problem. But for the first couple of messages I replied to since this date I did not even check the dates so they presumably went directly to the poster, I only noticed the problem when they were not appearing in my DP email folder. I have looked at the headers of emails since that date and they are very different in composition than the ones before. Once upon a time I used to be smart enough to read the header of an email and be able to say with someone certainty what it all means, but there are so many header fields and custom header in mail messages these days that I have given up. Suffice it to say that the old emails had Header Sections of about 50 lines long, and the problematic ones are more than 110 lines long. Its not only the originating email program that writes into the Header Section of an email; processes along its pathway can add their bit too (even your own antivirus and spam filters can mess round with it), so the problem might be somewhere between the DP Mailing list server and my email client. I also have Outlook Express on my computer which I occasionally use for DP User Discussions Group postings using its News Reader client, as they seem to arrive in the news reader far faster than in my email client, so before replying to a posting I often check if someone else has already done so. Curiously since the 20th December 2012, no more messages have come from the gmane.comp.db.dataperfect.general newsgroups, which could I guess be a problem with my ISPs filtering of newsgroups or something. I think our federal government has told ISP that they are responsible for filtering out any banned material, and since Microsoft always seems to hold much sway with governments and they seem to be wanting to put an end to this obscene MS-DOS related material, they may have instructed the Australian Government to ban us. :-) Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with their email and news reader clients recently?
