I think folks who try to post from eMail boxen associated with their own domain names will have trouble. I have better luck submitting posts to *weewx-users* and *weewx-development* from my GMail mailbox. I believe this is because Google arbitrarily and capriciously blocks inbound eMail from other mail servers, which it occasionally deems to be sources of spam. Because I share an eMail server with dozens of DOZENS of other retail customers at my Web hosting service (WHS) — some of whom may in fact dabble in spam — my eMail domain is from time to time blocked by association. I know Google prescribes various techniques for other mail servers to AVOID SEEMING TO BE origins of spam, but these are onerous or not available to retail customers. Meanwhile, major spam generators all seem to use GMail mailboxes on Google's servers. Pot, meet kettle. Yes, blocking eMail from other servers DOES SEEM OUTRAGEOUS and violates unspoken covenants about the ubiquity of eMail services. Google doesn't block its own servers, though, so, reliably to post to WeeWX groups, I use GMail. -- .. Be Seeing You, .. Chuck Rhode, Sheboygan, WI, USA ..
