What no reply has addressed is that this problem occurs when someone has dropped off the list for vacation and then resubscribes. Nothing has changed on the subscriber's end! Why does this happen? It certainly discourages people from ever dropping off the list! CE -----Original Message----- From: Brian L. Lightfoot [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, July 03, 2010 9:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Okay you computer gurus... 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.
