RE: Non-Yahoo MTS Mailing Lists

[Lyndon Nerenberg via cctalk]

Ok well I have checked and it looks like Lyndon is on the yahoo MTS list,
but his mail supplier may be filing as spam.


Umm ... his email supplier is him.  I've been running my own mail servers 
since the early 1980s.  If anything is getting bounced, it's because my 
email servers brand the content (not list) as spam, no better or worse 
then they brand any other traffic.  (Hint: spamassassin and xbl.)

Lyndon,
Seeing as the folks who set up the original distribution are on the Yahoo
list it's the best place to ask questions.  I assume you don't want to set
up a Yahoo account? Facebook perhaps?


I did fight my way thought the Yahoo interface to get onto at least one of 
the MTS groups via the mailing list interface.  But after falling off that 
a couple of times, for unknown reasons, I gave up.  And as I mentioned, 
the Yahoo Groups web interface is just too horrible to contemplate.


And no, I don't do Facebook, either.  But that wouldn't make a difference 
in this case.


I pine for the simplicity of mailing lists.  Then again, Yahoo, as 
co-instigators of DMARC, are ensuring the end of mailing lists as we've 
known and loved them for the past three decades.

Lyndon,
 Seeing as the folks who set up the original distribution are on the Yahoo
list it's the best place to ask questions.  I assume you don't want to set
up a Yahoo account? Facebook perhaps?

(I think I own the yahoo H390-MTS group but its been quiet for ages)

No, Michigan Terminal System.

A timesharing system for IBM 360/370 series mainframes, used and maintained at 
a number of universities from the late 60s through early 90s for campus-wide 
computing services.
