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