What a coincidence, I just sent this out to another list moments before
I got your question. When I get behind on dealing with held messages
waiting for my approval, some can sit for weeks before I act upon them.Â
But I just finished up going through a bunch of them, no more triumphs
list messages waiting. Still 393 for about 10 other lists waiting, the
oldest about 3 weeks. Team Net is something I do part time when I get
to it, I try not to get too far behind, but sometimes that's the way it
goes. My apologies. Sometimes I am amazed it has lasted for nearly 3
decades with such a scatterbrained procrastinator like myself as the man
behind the curtain.

If a messgae to a list has 5 or more addresses in the 'From: ' field it
gets held for my review. The Feb. 12th message about the Hall of Fame
which I just approved had 5.
The reason for this restriction is that a lot of spam that comes from a
hijacked email address will have a long list of targets. The hijacked
address is on the list, so it passes the membership test. I did
recently have one such message go through to the NOBBC list, and one to
the datsun-roadsters list, but it is rare they get through. Guys like
me who just do the lists as a part time thing have trouble keeping up
with all the latest tricks that bad guys have for getting their spam
through the system, but in general you rarely see spam coming through
the Team Net server undetected. And speaking of the server, the
unofficial fund drive drive for a new one has netted $192.75 from 5
different contributors thus far. I have yet to receive any paper
checks, so far just Paypal contributions.
And I can say that as of the moment there are no further held messages
for the healeys list in the queue, I have gotten through them all.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
