[TR] TR list traffic

[Bob]

Greg,

Yes gmail should not be your email server of choice. Not sure of their 
motives but google is well known for censorship. Heck even my email 
client (thunderbird) thinks some posts from the list are spam. Maybe the 
servers/email clients are trying to prevent hacks I guess.

Another problem is that many smtp/pop servers require different modes of 
authentication that can prevent emails from getting from sender to 
recipient. I recently had to change my Triumph email account due to the 
many (probe) messages received stating that the list server received an 
error from my older mail server. Funny thing is the probe messages were 
received but the email in question was not, all from the same smtp server.

Funny thing is when I was in the business, we would say this funny 
phrase when something went wrong:

"The state of the moon flag must not have been set correctly"

BTW, I got the 63 4 out the other day. Started great after over an 8 
month nap. Great to be able to get in the drivers seat after a long winter.
