Hi Julian,
I apologize for the inconvenience on this.
Unfortunately this is a requirement for Internet email list servers these days.
We get hit by literally hundreds of real SPAM messages daily and can not look at
each one manually. If the list engine didn't catch them the list would be
overwhelmed. We do limit postings to list members, but many SPAMs spoof the
legitimate return addresses of our subscribers too!
In any case, whenever anyone gets incorrectly rejected as SPAM by the list
server, just email a copy to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a short note
and we will post it for you.

The list server just rejected one of my postings because:
"Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 Error: 554 SPAM-ID: B0008 - Your message
looks like spam."
I have no idea why my reply to another posting looked like spam, but
there is no excuse for some brain-dead piece of software rejecting posts
to a members-only list from someone who has been a member since Elecraft
started, for any reason. Eric can easily excommunicate any spammers. I
imagine that someone whose urgent plea for help with a building problem
was rejected would be pretty frustrated with Elecraft if this happened.
I dare say my comment is no great loss to the group, but perhaps there
is some merit in the idea of setting up an alternative list, after all.
As someone who reads the list online, the ability to post and reply from
the list archives would be extremely useful, and would presumably be a
way round this problem.
Let's see if this one gets through...
73,
