Hi Rodney, Disclaimer: I am not email expert and I do not manage email servers anymore for about a decade. So, I am not going to go on debating technicalities.
I do however have an opinion on how this mail list is managed. Could you please stop with this judgementfull crusade on the back of your minor inconvenience. This is completely volunteer and charitable effort, not some subscription based entitlement service. Based on the tone of your comments, you consider yourself expert at configuring email server. What is the problem really? I trust that you should be able to resolve this on your end without major hassle. You want your email delivered and you know how to do it, otherwise we would have never heard from you. AFAIK - It is accepted inconvenience that emails originating from unroutable IPs are being rejected/ignored. It started to be common practice in around 2000, if not sooner. I believe that most people just live with it and get Gmail account or keep massaging their email server config until they have it perfect. Having your emails accepted is difficult. I personally do not like the asymmetry of ease of receiving just about any email versus the difficulty in sending it. Please take this issue with spammers - that is the best place to start changing the world. That being said - accepting/forwarding/processing someone's email is act of kindness. As such, we are all receiving favors for having our emails delivered. It is not an entitlement. If you feel that you could help making PLUG list better, I do not know how to help personally, but I am 100% positive that your tone is not the way to achieve much. That's all I came here to say, Tomas On Sun, Oct 27, 2019, 19:02 Rodney W. Grimes <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Thu, 24 Oct 2019 13:38:49 -0700 (PDT) > > "Rodney W.
