<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Once in a while subscribers tell
me that they receive List mail but that their posting submissions keep being
rejected. In most cases, when I investigate this it turns out that a given
subscriber has List mail forwarded from his or her subscribed e-mail address to
another e-mail address, and, forgetting this, they try to send posting
submissions from the address at which they read the mail. The list server
rejects mail from that address because it is not subscribed. Also, some people
try to unsubscribe or change their subscription configurations from addresses
that are not subscribed. The simple solution is to address the list server only
from the subscribed e-mail address.</span></p>

Lowlands-L) get a small percentage of Amazon sales if you enter Amazon through

people find themselves unsubscribed without notice. Some of them immediately
suspect the worst: that I have "booted them out" for some infraction

happens again and again and involves even the nicest, best-behaved people.)
Please do not jump to this conclusion unless you have received prior reprimands
and warnings (which happen very rarely, have not happened at all for well over
two years). If you find yourself disconnected from Lowlands-L, the reason is
most likely that the automated server has unsubscribed your address because of
repeated "bouncing," i.e., because your mail servers keep informing
the list server that you cannot be reached or is filled above quota. Most of
the time this is due to temporary disconnection.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:47.25pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">· Sometimes the
reason is that a subscriber's junk mail filter (or "spam" filter) has
not been "told" to exempt Lowlands-L mail, which is why our mailings
do not arrive in your in-boxes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:47.25pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">· So, if Lowlands-L
mail stops coming, please first check your "spam" filters and adjust
them if necessary, and only contact me about the problem if all of the above
fails.</span></p>
