I'm'a try to post this from my lists@ address, because I suspect it will work. Longish but (if you're reading it at all) it suggests some progress on the list email issue.
To recap, as of a couple of weeks ago: - I was suddenly not able to post from lists@ - I was still getting the daily digest to lists@ - requests to lists...@listserv.ua.edu from lists@ got no response This past Friday, my ISP (Cox) moved email to Yahoo. Still used the same addresses @cox.net, but with new server names etc., and requiring a quasi-enrollment process. That process went OK but I was unable to get Outlook to POP mail; webmail worked fine. Cox's typically useless "support" spent 25 minutes playing 20 questions (name/account number/PIN/etc.) then had forgotten the problem. Eventually we got to "You have to contact Yahoo support". Only Yahoo has no support except if you pay. That was the final straw. My mailboxes were at Cox but almost all email (except my wife's personal email) was being forwarded to an @akphs.com address anyway. I'd been dithering but now it was time, so I moved my mailboxes to my domain provider (EasyDNS, btw--good folks). That was a certain amount of hassle, but it's done and now email arrives faster, since it's not having to fight its way through Cox's outsourced anti-spam, never mind whatever Yahoo does. AND I now have DKIM/DMARC set up for the domain: EasyDNS did that for me automatically once I moved the mailboxes. And best of all, requests to lists...@listserv.ua.edu from lists@ are now working! If this post appears, I submit that it strongly supports the previous theory that something in the ua.edu infrastructure got pickier about DKIM and that's what's been causing the hassles; my added DKIM-ness thus fixed it for me. Now...what does this mean for others who are having trouble? Well, it would mean that your email provider is falling below the threshold of acceptability for whatever the heightened DKIM awareness requires. Not sure what you can do about that. You might tinker, sending notes to yourself at some other address and looking at the headers (also feel free to email me here and I can do the same), see if there's anything in the DKIM-added headers that looks interesting, but I'm not sure what that would be. I have not grokked DKIM/DMARC in detail because I haven't had to (and perhaps now I also don't, heh). ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
