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

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<http://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<http://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 at autox bin]# uptime
  16:45:49 up 1081 days, 21:32,  2 users,  load average: 1.20, 0.85, 0.98
[root at 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.

mjb.
