Jim,
What I did when my emails were blocked was to use procmail on my server with 
fetchmail, it pulls down my mail every 30 seconds, and I just grab it off my 
server.

  Hi,

  As long as we have a working, on-topic list, I am happy except for one thing. 
Google groups traffic is blocked here at work, where I would most likely use 
the list. Whatever is best for all is what matters most though.

  Hello Everyone,

   

  OK, sit back and take a deep breath.

   

  As usual, Freelists support has been shall I say not very helpful.

   

  Apparently, all three accounts that I have moderated messages going to are 
not working (one gmail, one personal domain and one university account).  Also, 
Freelists support states that the messages can not be resent.

   

  For this reason, messages sent earlier today will not be seen by the list and 
for that I am very very sorry.

   

  So, here is what I have done.

   

  I have un-moderated the list for the time being.  I will keep a very very 
close eye on things for the next while and if I see anyone going off topic and 
ranting or slamming others on the list you will be sent an email and asked to 
stop. If you refuse then you will be removed from the list and not allowed to 
post.

   

  I would also like to ask members of the list what they would think of moving 
the list away from Freelists to Googlegroups where I have had a lot better luck 
in list control and actually things working.  What do all of you think?

   

  Again, my most sincerest apologies.

   

  Jeff Bishop
