Right. I received it. I responded once from the same account. And once from the
Tokyoprogressive account. I believe ONLY the one I sent from Tokyoprogressive
went through, pointing to a SENDING problem from nangoku-jiyu-jin and maybe
also turnlefthosting.org. Tokyoprogressive would be unaffected because it is a
totally different provider.

No, and everything I do though in mailman is in the mailman program. Almost
never touch cpanel.

On my Mac in my mail client. There is a web interface in cpanel, but I have
rarely used it.

Yes. When I get home I can send you the July message, which went through. In
mailman's archives it shows up with the html unreadable, but in a mail client
it works.

I could enable that if need be.

Dozo,yoroshiku. I was at the language center and also taught the head of the
nursing dept privately as my wife is also a nurse.

In Cpanel they have something called Softaculous. Previously they used
something called Fantastico. I guess they are a collection of auto installers.
So you can find Joomla, Mailman, etc. all located there.
