Thanks for that info Dave. There are about 12-15 users that I can not
reply to using the reply to all function and it does include all FREELISTS
posts (TOS, Tx-Orn, Tx-Butterfly, Texbirds etc.). As such, unless one
already knows the poster's address there is no way to reply even to them.
There are a number of folks that use the FL server that have no idea
answers/questions were ever sent sent to them. Especially frustrating
after writing a lengthy note. I have a few of those folks noted so don't
try to reply.

For about a year now you have seen email form certain senders show up
as being from "dmarc-norepy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" This happens because about
a year ago yahoo implemented an anti-spam protocol known by the
acronym DMARC. The way they set it up is they implement an instruction
on their servers that says that email providers should reject all
email that doesn't originate from their servers if it says the email
is from their server.
This is incompatible with email lists like TEXBIRDS because naturally
when TEXBIRDS send out a message from one of these providers it is no
longer from the original server but from FREELISTS server, so most
providers will not allow the message to be delivered and will reject
it as spam.
The work around for this was that FREELISTS changes the email address
that the message is from to dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx. This usually
work fine because the reply-to address is still the original senders
email address. I say usually because there is one notable exception,
Yahoo does not include a reply-to address so there is none. I'm not
sure of you can specify a reply-to address in the Yahoo mail set up
but it would be worth trying. It may also help to switch to Yahoo's
basic email and not use the new Yahoo mail for email to email lists
like TEXBIRDS.
Yahoo does provide email service for a number of different providers,
SBCGlobal comes to mind as one, so the same problems likely happen
with these providers.
If your account is on moderation because its a new subscription or you
choose to read TEXBIRDS from an archive and aren't subscribed this may
prove to be a problem if you decide to post. Lately I've noted that
several messages a week I can't approve because they are not using
plain text and are using formatted email. The formatted portion of the
message comes through as an attachment to the email and FREELISTS will
reject it because of the attachment. PLEASE ALWAYS TRY TO SEND EMAIL
TO TEXBIRDS AS PLAIN TEXT.
I still suggest the best way to get your mail from the archive and
still post is to subscribe and either set your account to vacation or
ask be to set it to vacation. Then I can take your subscription off
moderation and messages won't need to be approved and you won't
receive email directly from TEXBIRDS.
