I try really hard to be careful with my wording! But still, it seems to take
a while for replies to go through (sometimes if at all!). I do notice that
the yahoo groups go through so quickly, often instantly, perhaps you could
change to a Yahoo group instead, import all the email addresses in? It would
require less maintenance too perhaps? This appears to be a mailman list, I
used to use it and it was okay, but very fiddly.

Hi all,

I've looked into the problems that seem to be happening on
the list, in particularly, that not all emails are being received
by everyone.

There are two issues that could be causing this problem, the
first one is spam filters as already mentioned by Andrea.
Unfortunately, there is no perfect technology available to
make sure only real spam is filtered and all the email you
want or expect to receive actually arrive in your inbox.

This spam issue also affects some emails that are bouncing.
As I don't always have time to go through all my spam mail
to make sure I catch all bounces from the list.  Although I will
endeavour to be as thorough as I can, I do received over 100
spam emails a day (that's my problem though :-) ).

I am currently going through my spam mail to fish out any
bounces that aren't spam and will respond to anyone whose
mail has wrongly ended up in my spam inbox.

Some of the ways you can help to make sure all emails are
received:

* Have a think about the words you use in your email, spam filters
   are set up to catch key words. Some of these you may need to
   use due to the nature of your work but may also have a not spam
   typical description.

* Only send emails to the list only and not copy in other people

* Try not to use the special words in emails, like s*bscribe,
   uns*bscribe, j*in, c*ncel and h*lp (particularly in the subject heading).

* Try to remember that the list doesn't like attachments.

* When replying to messages try to only keep as much of the
   original message as is needed to make sense of your reply.  Emails
   bounce when they are too long.

* For those who view this list via the archives, unfortunately, you
   can only post emails to the list is you are a member.  There is
   no reason why you can't join to send an email and then take
   yourself off the list after your email has been sent.

I hope this is useful to you all.  Please don't hesitate to contact me
should you have any questions.

Regards
Kim

Everyone is welcome here!

The list sometimes has problems, and we will investigate.  Sometimes 
I get messages that for some reason are redirected to my spam filter 
where I pick them up - you  could try checking there for missed 
emails. If the sender copies messages  to other email addresses at 
the same time, this seems to cause the problem for me.  For example, 
an email sent simultaneously to a string of private email address 
and/or several lists including this one, may get bounced as spam by your
ISP.

Try sending messages just to this list and don't copy to anyone else 
at the same time.

I'll ask our list manager Kim for more suggestions.

One reason for outgoing mail not getting through is one's own AV software,
which can stop emails going out if they contain certain words.  That is the
case with mine.

Hi Lisa,

This illustrates the point I made earlier. If a message is sent to several 
lists at the same time, your ISP may decide that it is a spam email. We 
are definitely not blocking anyone's emails  -  again everyone is welcome 
to contribute here. The ozmid lists has been going now for many many years 
(long before anyone else in OZ) and I guess we have to expect that 
sometimes things don't go smoothly.



We have become so reliant on emails and so sure that they will get through 
we can forget that this whole service operates on sometime dodgy phone 
lines


Again, I will ask Kim to investigate.

Re: [ozmidwifery] List working properly???

2006-06-24 Thread Janet Fraser
I have never sent any of my emails privately as well as to the list but I've
had a number not appear once a subject starts to get contentious.

 Hi Everyone,

 Can I first stress that this list is not moderated - no-one checks
 emails before they appear and no messages are filtered out.  This
 is one of the few email lists that are free and open in this way.
 Everyone is welcome here!

 The list sometimes has problems, and we will investigate.  Sometimes
 I get messages that for some reason are redirected to my spam filter
 where I pick them up - you  could try checking there for missed
 emails. If the sender copies messages  to other email addresses at
 the same time, this seems to cause the problem for me.  For example,
 an email sent simultaneously to a string of private email address
 and/or several lists including this one, may get bounced as spam by your
ISP.

 Try sending messages just to this list and don't copy to anyone else
 at the same time.

 I'll ask our list manager Kim for more suggestions.

 Regards

 Andrea

 Are other people having the same difficulty, or are specific emails
 being singled out and removed? This is highly frustrating and needs
 to be remedied for the list to function fairly and
 effectively.  It's happening a lot right now but it's occurred
 multiple times historically too.

I run 2 yahoo groups and have never had this problem. Go figure?! Forums are
superior because these issues don't occur and not hard or expensive to run.

Hi,

Just wanted to add, that I am currently on another Australian list (yahoo
based), and the same problem has been there.

 Hi Lisa,

 This illustrates the point I made earlier. If a message is sent to several
 lists at the same time, your ISP may decide that it is a spam email. We
 are definitely not blocking anyone's emails  -  again everyone is welcome
 to contribute here. The ozmid lists has been going now for many many years
 (long before anyone else in OZ) and I guess we have to expect that
 sometimes things don't go smoothly.


 We have become so reliant on emails and so sure that they will get through
 we can forget that this whole service operates on sometime dodgy phone
 lines

 Again, I will ask Kim to investigate.

 Regards,

 Andrea

I am aware that not all my mails make it onto the list . I have felt that
maybe they are not getting through because of the content and a whole
section with mails from Justin Caines Jennifairy and myself didn't make it
into my email box.  I read them on the yahoo site as I was checking to see
if my own mail was there.

This puts me off replying because it just seems that maybe all points of
view are not wanted.

I know enough about the vagaries of computers (yes Im a closet nerd) to 
trust that there is no conspiracy by the Ozmid webmistress to censor 
certain emails. Realistically it would be a full time job to read every 
post to this list  'cull' the ones that dont fit the mold.
Like childbirth  midwifery, computer technology is not an exact 
science, there will always be 'glitches in the system', ghosts in the 
machine...  yes I have had confused moments especially in the last 6 
months or so on this list when I come across a reply to a post I never 
got as an original, etc. It does seem to be happening more than it used 
to (Ive been on  off, but mostly on, the list now for about 5 years),  
it can be hard to track down where the problem is - users computer /mail 
settings, ISP settings, server settings, etc. For some reason 
KellyBelly's emails *always* used to end up in my Trash folder until I 
created a filter specifically for her posts to the list, to send them to 
my Ozmid folder (?!) go figure
If it works 90% of the time then Im happy with that, we of all people 
should understand there are no guarantees of perfection,  anyway the 
archive is there for reference if needed.
Please dont refrain from posting Lisa, I for one appreciate your posts 
very much, you have a very valuable perspective to offer.

cheers
