Index request misfired?

Dear SEELANGS subscribers:

I'm curious whether others had the same experience I did a few days ago.  As an 
everyday routine, when the SEELANGS "Index 2007-175" arrived,*** I clicked 
"Reply," deleted some headings from the Index list, and "sent" the rest of the 
headings (Index) to SEELANGS' "Request" address. (As I do every day.)  In fact, I 
found it necessary to do that 4 or 5 different times.  Each time I received back the 
familiar brief confirmation note (always 2 KB long), which merely says the "postings 
you requested have been sent."  But the full-text postings themselves never 
arrived (in 4 or 5 tries). 

I'm guessing one of two must have happened.  (1) SEELANGS never sent out the full 
text postings (as requested) that particular day.  Or (2) the full-text postings were 
sent out (as requested) each time, but they were over-loaded with some "spam-
like" characteristics, such that my university's spam-blocker detected & deleted 
them as "Definite Spam," each and every time.  And my univ's spam-blocker did 
NOT notify me that  any messages classified as "Possible Spam" had been put on 
temp. hold. ("On hold for 'Possible' Spam" does occur 2 or 3 times a week, but not 
previously with SEELANGS.  When "Definite Spam" is detected, on the other hand,  
I'm not notified at all.)

Puzzled,
Steven P Hill,
University of Illinois.
