<DIV>have really been slammed with returned and bounced mail ever since
January. We've tried to clean everything up from behind the scenes, but it
just keeps getting worse. So, we're going to ask for your help.
:)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm going to send you an email from a new non-AOL account: <A
href="mailto:teachasl@gmail.com">teachasl@gmail.com</A> </DIV>
<DIV>In theory, you don't need to do a thing. :) If the address is
bad, you'll never know it and I'll get bounced all over creation. :)
HOWEVER, I would like to ask EACH of you to respond to THAT message (not this
one :) so I can double check things. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All you need to do is reply back to the email that comes to you from <A
href="mailto:teachasl@gmail.com">teachasl@gmail.com</A>. Something like
"ok", will be fine. That will tell me that you think it is a VALID
address. Then I'll check your reply against the "bounces", "returned", and
"unknown senders".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's going to take a while to get out to everyone ... I can't just send
1000 names all at once. the services will think I'm a spammer :D ... I'm
going to start with the smaller digests & then do the lists in the following
order: sw-l, teachasl, slling, and terps-l (cause slling & terps-l
seem to have fewer problems :) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It may take a few days.</DIV>
