Hi Bill!

Naturally, without being able to investigate further (and probably not having the knowledge) I cannot begin to diagnose the problem with your e-mail. However, my own experience might be relevant in some way.

When Rev "upgraded" their server last July, e-mails sent to me, particularly the U-R Lists, got bounced by my service provider. After a long investigation on my part, I managed to discover the reason. Roughly, it was this. My own e-mail server is old-fashioned (but normally reliable). But if it receives e-mails sent to the IP of my site domain (www.howsoft.com) rather than the IP of my e-mail server, it tries to bounce them. It appears that more modern receiving servers recognise this problem and make the necessary adjustments to get around it automatically. My old server, no. However, there is little doubt about the fact that what is involved is a configuration problem on the part of the sending server (i.e. RunRev in this case). This is proved by the fact that I never had any problem receiving e-mails from other sources using the same account. I still use it for all normal communications, without any problem at all.

I put this case to RunRev, but since it had not appeared in Bugzilla and been voted for by enough users (not true, I'm joking), they didn't want to take it further. So to be able to receive communications reliably from RunRev I was obliged to set up a new account using a different and more modern service provider to get around the problem. This is why although everybody else in the world sends their e-mails to my site at [EMAIL PROTECTED] , everybody at Rev and on this list knows me as [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Bob
