Hi Folks,

I'm sorry to report that Microsoft Hotmail and Live have banned many if not all Osgeo mailing lists. The reason cited includes /"Emails rejected by Outlook for policy reasons. A block has been placed against your IP address because we have received complaints concerning emails coming from that IP address"/.

The Osgeo sys admins are aware of the issue and seeing what can be done to get us removed from the block, but I've no idea how long that will take, or even if it will be successful.

On our end, after Mailman receives too many notices of failed messages that email address is placed on a "no mail" list. So, even if/when the mixup with Microsoft is fixed those accounts will still not receive mail until that `nomail` flag is changed.

Users can change their email address their subscriber options page, http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/options/osgeo4w-dev. (The nomail flag can also be reset here.)

I will email this notice directly to those users who I know are affected, but don't know if that will cover everyone.

best regards,
