>Jimmy Odom sent a direct email concerning his jenter system. Jimmy said he >was not sure why his replies were not posted. We have no idea either. Such replies never arrived in the BEE-L moderation queue. FWIW, moderators seldom reject posts, and if they do it is for very obvious reasons that anyone can understand simply by looking at what was sent and reading the guidelines. People have an undeserved faith in email. Email is very unreliable, and messages are quite often lost somewhere between sender and recipient with hint that it happened. They are occasionally lost on the way to the BEE-L server. The most common problem is sending to a misspelled address or not examining the headers before sending. The second most common cause IMO is SPAM filters and BEE-L has an incoming SPAM filter that has been known to lose an occasional incoming email. I know because some were mine and they never showed up in the queue or on BEE-L. Many servers are 'protected' from SPAM by heuristic filters which discard a lot of email unpredicatably with no notice to the sender or intended recipient. SpamAssassin is one of the worst culprits and is very popular with ISPs because it is free. While most of SpamAssassin's discards are SPAM, too many are actual messages and sometimes important ones. If the post office lost as much mail as ISPs do, people would scream bloody murder, but since email is free, and usually people don't notice missing email, nobody squacks. People tend to blame one another, not the delivery sytem. Relationships both personal and business have been destroyed due to imagined slights when, in fact, an important message was never received and obviously the intended recipient could not know that. If you do not get an ACK from the BEE-L server after you send, and you do not see your message posted on BEE-L it is much safer to assume that your message went astray than to assume that that it was rejected. I doubt that moderation has rejected more than a dozen emails in the past month and most of them were SPAM. One or two were for quoting the entirety of previous BEE-L posts. *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
