Hi Reg, No, unfortunately it's not spam filtering. I have the spam setting at internode set very weak and at present no messages are being held, in any case (I think) that would only apply to my [EMAIL PROTECTED] email account (which I don't really use).
Having recently going through the pain of changing all my email subscriptions etc from my old bigpond address I'd decided to avoid this in the future by using email accounts associated with my own domain (and so independent of whichever ISP I choose to use from time to time). At present the mail setup at my [EMAIL PROTECTED] email accounts are set to flag possible spam but still forward them on - I was going to experiment with different spam level settings before actually setting it to hold back spam. What I still don't know though is how to tell where the problem is - the possumology account not receiving the WAMUG posts for some reason or me being unable to retrieve the mail from the possumology mail server over my internode connection - if it was an ongoing problem, I would think I could test this by logging onto the possumology mail server from another computer/ISP but since it was only a temporary or intermittant problem it seems that tracking it down could be very difficult. Thanks for the suggestion though. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
