Hi All,

I've just been reading this messages.  I'll get into this.  Probably it's
because of replacing the server for a new one recently.  Qmail became
Postfix and I guess that something in the config changed. .  

Regards,
Udo Tjalsma

Hi All,

 

I've forwarded Brian's descriptive email re the problem to all three email
addresses I have for Udo Tjalsma in the Netherlands. Hopefully he will get
at least one on them and can implement the necessary fix.

 

Regards

 

Colin Roberts

Looking at other threads, the change in the DP server that eliminated the
"Reply-To" line first happened when I received a "Welcome to the dataperf
mailing list" email on 2/19/2012 at 3:51 pm.  Prior to that, in another
thread, at 3:27 pm on 2/19/2012, the Reply-To line was still there.  

It looks like our Dutch friend (can't remember his name, but we had ice
cream together at our last get-together) made some server changes.

Brian, et. al.,

I use Thunderbird (ver 2.0), and notice the same thing is happening.  Going
back to older messages, I notice the dataperf server included a "Reply-To"
line which disappeared sometime between Feb. 13 and Feb. 19.  The problem is
in the Netherlands, not any of our email programs.

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.

Regards

Brian

Yup. 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.

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?

Bye

Brian
