Thanks for digging my emails out of the spam filters most times,
Andrea. Love Gloria

Hi Everyone,
I think one problem with emails not appearing on the list is that they
can get caught up in spam or junk filters by mistake. This can happen
especially when the list is copied in with other addresses. For
example, I usually find Gloria Lemay's ozmid postings in my spam
filter because our list was one of several to whom she sent her message.
You can change your level of spam filtering with your ISP and also
your individual email program. It should also be possible to set your
program to allow messages through from certain sources, or with
certain key words in the address line (e.g. ozmidwifery list) . This
might help some of you.
The list can't handle attachments of any kind (this is to avoid
spreading viruses which are often buried in attachments) and if your
email program automatically adds attachments ( I notice that some do
this) then that may be a problem.
Some employers have barred access to lists through their servers too.
Apart from these possibilities, we have to remember that email isn't
infallible - we've come to reply on it so much that we can forget that
it is still reliant on a phone line, consistent power supply without
surges etc and an ISP - all potential sources of occasional failures.
We do pretty well on the whole - if your message doesn't get through,
please try again. We do our best to monitor what's going on, and know
that there have been periods when our web host has had problems which
has affected the list too.
Regards,
Andrea
