Just for the record, as the OP, my missed LUG posts were not in my junk mail folder, and they were not simply delayed due to routing variations. They never arrived. Looking just now, I see that I have not received Ron Taylor’s posts from yesterday or today (or on the 15th). How e-mails from one particular individual could routinely fail to be delivered to me by the LUG mail server, I do not know.

(DMARC related....arrggg) I just now found mail from 4 days ago that I thought the person had ignored me.... But I wouldn't recommend using a gmail email address for Lists... I use Gmail and its great, but the gmail based addresses do not display your replys or your own emails in SOME lists. I prefer to see my own email show up in the list along with others messages. But that is my own preference.

It's usually the same names over and over again, where they're regular contributors - Ron Taylor on this list is one that comes to mind; someone else commented a little while ago they had found one of his posts there, so it's not just my mail box affecting delivery of his list mail. I always mark these emails as 'not spam', and live in hope that one day the system will catch up and start recognising list mail for what it is. I'm not holding my breath, though, I don't expect a quick fix. If this missing mail is not turning up in your mail box anywhere (including junk/spam), you could try having a conversation with your email provider about the missing mail. (Or you could try pulling a fingernail out, it might be less painful and more productive ;-) Or you could try subscribing with a different email address, and see if that improves things for you. There are plenty of free services out there - I recommend Gmail, of course. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Ward Walker said the following on 16/06/2014 02:39: > Again I see responses to a post (from yesterday) that I did not > receive.
