Tom,
You and Don both accurately described the problem, and I'm another lister
who experiences it. In my case, messages I send over the course of a few
days are never posted, then I go through fairly long phases when all my
messages post.
I speculate that it has something to do with the lister's email address. I
know some listers who use Comcast have periodic problems, which Comcast at
least appears to acknowledge. When I had AT&T as my ISP, I had even more
problems, but that was true with a variety of recipients and AT&T never
provided assistance. Now my address is truly obscure, but I rarely have the
problem any more, and when I do it's almost exclusively with this list. I
notice that yours also doesn't appear to be one of the major ISPs, and
Donald's ISP is less known to me, though it might be a household name in New
Brunswick--I simply don't know.
When I've contacted the moderator in the past, he made an effort to find out
the source of the problem, but without success. It seems clear to me that
for whatever reason, many messages intended for the list end up in no-man's
land. Maybe the real problem is that Freelists simply doesn't have the
resources to sift out valid messages from the spam chaff. But in that case,
how do our messages ever get through?

Some of my messages post correctly. Others do not. I'm discussing those that
do not. If you read my original message that began this thread, you'd see
that I described the problem precisely.
