[Ads-l] List Posting Problems

[Robin Hamilton]

This from Jesse, and the previous one from Larry, arrived OK, as did my 
original query to the list.  As I said to Jesse in a backchannel reply to 
his originally accidentally backchanneled response to me, whatever it is, it 
doesn't seem to be a simple Spam-filter problem.

There's a reason why more computer mavins commit suicide over "intermittent 
faults" than any other issue ...

Sorry, I replied directly to Robin about this. Yes, there's a default 
setting that you don't get copies of your own posts; that setting can be 
changed. There's no reason on the ADS-L side why other messages wouldn't go 
through--likely a problem with ISP spam filters.
