[tri-med] Mails not getting through

>>Why aren't my messages getting through?
I have several emails and none seem to work... how am I subscribed... or have I 
been unsubscribed??>>
You are still subscribed otherwise you wouldn't be getting emails and some of 
your mails get through with no problem. The problem with some not making it or 
making it with a delay is that sometimes you send them from gmail and sometimes 
from debbwebb. The debbweb ones bounce back to you - (and you should get a 
rejection message saying that only members are allowed to post to the list and 
your mail has been sent to the moderator, if you dont check your spam folder) . 
Thats because no one can post to the list unless they are subscribed to the 
list - it stops spam being posted to the list.

I get a copy of all rejection messages that are sent which amounts to about 30 
a day across all 5 lists - most are spam so I pretty much just skim through 
them (I have to scroll through all the technical stuff of each rejection email 
as the actually email message is at the end - and I admit I dont always 
bother). 

Consequently I probably miss a lot of your messages. If I see a message thats 
been rejected for some other reason or if I recognise the email address as 
being the alternate email address of a list member (like yours) I can manually 
allow them through - but I only have 24 hours to do that. 

You arent alone in doing this and sometimes I will recognise an alternate 
address for a list member, approve the rejected post only to find that the 
person realised and reposted the email - so we end up with double postings.

Sometimes I don't get the opportunity to check the rejection messages every day 
so even if I see yours I can't always manually permit them and instead I have 
to forward them from my email address. I don't like doing that but I do under 
certain circumstances. Thats what happened with this one.

As I explained last time (2006) you have one of two options - remember to email 
from gmail when you write to the list or subscribe debbwebb and set it to 
vacation. That leaves debbwebb not getting mail but still subscribed to the 
list so that you can post from either address. Failing that you have to rely on 
me catching them - which isnt all that reliable.

You aren't alone in this - there are a few people who do the same thing :-)) 

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
