we have someone (patient & determined) like yourself at the helm. A lot
would have given up weeks ago. It's the most important tesla archive on the
web, and a lot of us, me included, would never have taken up coiling without
it.

Thanks

Subject: [TCML] Aol and yahoo.com issues

Greetings everyone,

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.
