The most recent post didn't bounce. OTOH, I've been having a few Hotmail people complaining that their emails to me (not list related) have bounced. I even wondered if Hotmail had blacklisted my domain in relation to this problem, but it's not uniform. Most mail gets through, although some bounce - 550. Hotmail is very frustrating. If only no-one used it :( I never have problems with proper mail addresses, either with Mailman or normal mail. > > > On Thu, 2003-02-13 at 08:12, Ivan Van Laningham wrote: > > Hi All-- > > > > David wrote: > > > > > > I've been running an announce only list for a couple of months.
