I've heard backchannel from several people who also have had many of their emails not show up on the list. It makes me wonder if there is not something seriously up with the list itself. I had a few emails come back with MajorDomo editing and errors on them which should not have happened (the list processor was trying to process every line of my email as a command). I can think of a couple of ways to check on this but the easiest would be to have a second email address that people could send a cc: of their posting to; then compare the list to the email in that address.

There is a configurable option in majordomo which is designed to intercept traffic sent to the list which should instead be going to majordomo itself. This is a defensive measure designed to prevent routine s*bscr*be and uns*bscr*be requests and the like from going out to the entire mailing list. If you have used one of the keywords or strings that this particular installation of majordomo is matching on, then, yes, your message will be shunted aside, processed as if were commands, and of course if it wasn't, then all those non-commands will generate a LOT of error messages. But without looking at the config file for this list, there's no way for me to know if everything I just said covers what you're seeing or whether it's something else entirely. BTW: I did notice that a long-ish message which took me considerable time to write the other day has apparently vanished with no trace. ---Rsk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

If they're coming back with Majordomo processing errors, you almost certainly sent the message to something other than paddlewise_at_paddlewise.net. paddlewise-request_at_paddlewise.net will do that, for example. Send me your bounces and I'll check into it. I really need to upgrade the list server software to something more modern....
