sounds like it is time for a fund raiser.

Boy, at least this list is being more civil than recent traffic on the Triumphs

Yes, some people are having difficulties receiving all messages directly in
their inbox. Some messages are marked as spam, some are just discarded
outright by their mail system. I am trying to follow all the rules and
regulations and RFCs, and keep up with current best practices. It ain't easy!
Some of the problem is that my ISP is Comcast, and some other providers are
blocking certain blocks of IP addresses, and autox.team.net has an IP in the
blocked block. And some providers block this IP address explicitly due to
various nefarious malware that has snuck onto the server over the years, and
have not removed the IP address even years after the bad guys were tossed out.
And I may have another bad apple, some things are just not right on the server,
I'm working on that at the moment. It's a never ending battle.
But there is hope for the future. I may change the domain for the lists to
lists.team.net, and may or may not change the IP address. I will likely buy a
new server, install a current version of Linux on it, with higher security
levels, and migrate all the lists to Mailman 3, rather than try to keep the
current ancient, unsupported versions of everything working. I'm running low
on baling wire and chewing gum.
The current server has been running for 3 years, well just two weeks short of 3
years. That's quite a long time, many eons in computer years:
[root@autox bin]# uptime
16:45:49 up 1081 days, 21:32, 2 users, load average: 1.20, 0.85, 0.98
[root@autox bin]#
I'm afraid if it ever does go down, it may not come back up again!
So be it known your complaints are not falling on deaf ears, just ones a little
hard of hearing. That's actually a reference to the fact that I have had
"Sensorineural hearing loss, bilateral" for over ten years. Remember the old
saw "deaf in one ear, can't hear out of the other"?
But as long as my health allows, I will continue to soldier on, your loyal,
overpaid and underworked digital janitor.
