not all messages are posting to the SW List

SignWriting List
June 21, 2006

Hello Cherie and Everyone!
I believe Cherie posted a message saying that not all my messages  
arrived on the List.

Funny thing...then Cherie's message did not make it to the List either!

The reason I know Cherie tried to post something, is because I am the  
manager of the List, and I can see when new messages have been posted  
before they arrive...but I have no control over what happens  
next...usually they will post to the List within minutes after I see  
it coming...

But now something weird is happening...I see the messages coming, but  
then they never arrive...

That is not good!

We have been so lucky all these years with an excellent List, so I  
will pursue this tomorrow...

I believe this is connected to spammers and also to old email  
addresses that are creating too many returns...

Recently, I was spammed just terribly...it was like a flood...I was  
being attacked by abnormal amounts of spam...Although Macs cannot get  
hurt by viruses written to hurt PCs, I put on my anti-virus software  
anyway, only to find that it was a Windows virus being sent to my  
Mac....a river of email with a virus that couldn't hurt my  
computer...so stupid!

I am worried maybe something like that happened to our  
List...recently more strangers with non-SignWriting messages have  
tried to come through onto the List, and I have deleted them before  
they could get through...messages about...well you know...

No matter what happens, we will always have a SW List...I will not  
let this continue!

Smile...Thanks for your patience everyone!

And please keep writing to the List, but I would suggest right now,  
that you should send me a copy of the same message too, if you do not  
see it post...then I can try to re-post it...Many thanks!
