There are currently 12 subscribers. It has very low traffic because most of it more properly belongs on ql-users, but I have no plans to ever remove the list. The likeliest reason for posting problems on ql-user is a quirk in the spam filtering on the mailserver that runs the list. It refers to a spam blocking list called Osiris, which was shut down recently. Due to the bad way in which the list was shut down, it responds that ALL mail is spam. This increases the score of some posts to the point where they get filtered. I observed that the problems commenced the exact day and time the Osiris list flatlined. My listserver is set with a high priority, with all mail being processed within one minute. The delay in processing mail on the quanta listserver may be as high as an hour, which means a response can take up to two hours (1 hr to receive and sort, one hour to send, worst case.) The ql.spodmail.com site HAS closed, because it attracted 7 hits in 3 months, and 5 of those 7 hits were one person. Hope this helps... Dave
