I don't get any messages at all. The e-Mail just doesn't show up on the list...

I have been noticing that some messages don't make it from either my home address, or my work address. It's indescriminate as to where I send it from. Thus confirming my suspision that the problem is originating on the Mandrake side. > > 1. What is different about the way you post messages that ARE getting > through vs those that aren't? Nothing.

Your ISP isn't a butthead about mailservers being run on client systems? Again, in my case, it's not limited to just my home address. Let's face it.. It's on the Mandrake side. It's happening to a lot of people. -- Ric Tibbetts Linux registration number: 55684 If you want to help advertise Linux - point your friends to http://counter.li.org/
