I know of a lady who is completely unable to receive mesages even though she
is subscribed and has contacted her i s p, the mod anyone who can assist
her. As a result I forward the mesages to her.

But while no host service is perfect, this one has been a real pain for
me as well. The freelists.org spam blocker has been extra busy blocking
any command messages I have sent over the past three weeks. I couldn't
generate the help request, and I couldn't unsubscribe when I had wanted
to. Although James says some of my messages did get through to the
list, I didn't receive copies of them even though my flags were set
saying that I should. I doubt if any of my messages to James at the
jfw-admins address got to him as nothing else got through the server
from me in terms of list command requests. It wasn't until I sent yet
another web request form to freelists that the spam filter allowed my
account to work properly.
In all of this, I feel that I came off looking like a real jerk in the
eyes of our list owner. Clueless and incompetent at the least.
So, if the list is to remain here, please realize that the problems and
frustrations are real and that it's not always the fault of the end
user.
Jean
