Ken, I cannot know this, as I do not have access the error reports (nor know if this list's software provides them), but I note that your email address is a Comcast one. As a ListMum from elsewhere, on a different host, and using different software, the bane of my list administration can be boiled down to Comcast, Bellsouth and AOL. Their attempts at sp*m-filtering for their customers *may* be very effective at filtering that, but they also, seemingly periodically and for random periods of time, filter out a lot of valid email via incorrect registering of our listmail (or the origin IP address) as sp*m. On other lists I've been on, I've also seen results that seem to indicate hold-ups in email for lists as well. I can only suggest that, to check this, you join this list under another (free) email address as well (such as gmail, for whom I've never received a single such list-related bounce in my Errors file, unlike, rarely, Hotmail and Yahoo), and see if the problem lies in that area (your ISP) rather than with the list itself. If required, I'm happy to send you one of those gmail invite thingies (to anyone for that matter) - just email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's just a thought - my experience as a list user and a list admin'er is that a lot of the time, it's an ISP problem rather than a list problem, so verifying that might go some way towards helping our ListMum here (my apologies to the ListMum here if I'm out of line suggesting the above).
