I have never had any problems with this mailing list. I really don't think a mail server problem is the case. If it is a problem with YOUR mail server... sending test messages to freebsd-questions is not a viable method of diagnosing. I think the bottom line is... no "test" messages to freebsd-questions. Why else would a formal area for "test" messages be created? ---- Jason jason@jason-n3xt.org > -----Original Message----- > From: Kjell [mailto:kmidtset@c2i.net] > Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 08:32 > To: Jason Halbert > Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: RE: test - please ignore > > > Jason! > Some 6 months ago when I first subscribed to this list I > had the same > difficulties as you. > -My postings did not appear or appeared 2 days later. > -Postings in an interesting thread were missing. > -Postings were repeated once an hour for up to 6 days. > -etc etc > None of this could be repeated on the test mail list. > My understanding of the problem is that the mail server for > this list does a > backcheck to your mail server.
