I finally figured out the problem with some subscribers. Lucky for me it
was plastered all over the internet. AOL and yahoo have changed
their anti-spam policies which have broken many email lists. In short,
lists that have the original poster as the sender are rejected if the
sender is from AOL or yahoo. I have set up a "burst" list that will send
to the tesla list. It changes the poster so that it will say tesla-burst
and replies will go to tesla. It's crappy, I know, but the flip side is
that if you have an aol or yahoo address, many on the list miss your
postings.
There is a fix for the problem, upgrading list software, which I'm in the
process of doing. However, it's not something that I can or should do in
a cavalier manner.
I put everyone with yahoo and aol domains in the burst list. You can
send to tesla@xxxxxxxxxx as always, but now everyone will be getting your
postings.
I set things up so that AOL and yahoo addressees won't get duplicate
emails. They'll be seeing email from tesla-burst. Once things are again
stable I will move them back to tesla and take down the tesla-burst list.
I'll be working on the upgrade but want to proceed with caution.
As always, let me know if there are problems, questions, suggestions, etc.
