Reading mail in the archives comes through http (hyper-text transfer protocol) and by using a Web Browser. Receiving email comes through pop (post office protocol) and using an email client with an email address. Two totally different things on the Internet. I should also mention that neither Legacy nor Millennia have done anything wrong to possibly be on a blacklist of one ISP. It's just an error or mis-configuration on the part of the ISP, perhaps someone entered a wrong digit when entering an IP address.
Actually reading the current mail in the archives isn't all that bad of a thing. One doesn't have to worry about your own mail box being jammed with 20, 50, or more messages at a time. Plus you get to pick and choose which threads you want to take a look at and when you want to look at them. One final thing I might suggest is that the OP try using one of those disposable email accounts...you know, through G-Mail, HotMail, etc. Sign up for the LUG using one of those accounts and if the OP still doesn't receive any email from the LUG, then the problem may lie in a mis-configuration on her own machine. Maybe somehow the messages are being treated as spam and are instantly being deleted or maybe she has a certain IP address being blocked on her own.
