No major bugs that I am aware of. If you're not receiving what you should
be receiving, please see the reporting addresses below. Here's a list of
the current and recent mailing list issues:

1. There was no weekly mailing of the main DLV Announcement list today.
Since we've moved Q&A and general chit-chat here, there is less volume,
so the list will not be sent out if there are no significant
announcements or high-priority items. Before April, this will be
sent out at least once per month, keeping to the Sunday schedule
if practical.

2. The system that handles ONLY the WEB-ENTERED DLV Discussion list
messages and the registration responses was malfunctioning for about 15
minutes early this afternoon, Sunday, February 2. I'll be going thru the
cache files this evening and I'll manually process anything that was
entered during that time.

3. (If your name is Keri or Jonie this applies to you.) We have a few
cases where mail is being refused by AOL with the "user is not accepting
mail" message. Turn off the mail filters. If you don't want to do this,
send mail to one of the reporting addresses below and I will assist with
configuring these to pass the DLV list mail.

Also check your anti-spam filter settings.

4. A few DLV Discussion list messages to some AOL users were rejected
this afternoon (Sunday, Feb 2) with an error message that clearly
indicated a malfunction on the AOL side. A resend is not practical.
You can check for missed messages on the web at the URL:

Those are the only recent mailing list issues I'm aware of. If you are
not receiving something you should be, let us know (dlv@geekbabe.com).
If you get no response with that address, write me at annie@annie.net
If you get no response with that, try dmr436@yahoo.com
