Eric: It's been my experience that the neither the Mandrake nor MARC archives are not 100 per cent up to date. Case in point: When I checked the newbie archives on 11/19, Mandrake showed no entries after 11/15, and MARC showed only one entry for 11/18. They both do a good job, but there is time lag. -- cmg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

A day or 2 behind? Did you check the mandrake archive? http://www.mail-archive.com/newbie%40linux-mandrake.com/ su it's up to date. > If you are convinced I should contact my ISP for malperformance I > will, but as somebody (James Sparenberg?) on one of the lists > remarked, it is entirely possible that a server in front of sympa > which might be hickuping a little and not have an outside line > available would cause a bounce effect to be recorded by sympa; or > at least that was the way I understood his suggestion. Oh, i am never sure of anytihg when mail and especially sympa are involved. At wrk, we had a "perfectly" functioning email system, but analog devices could never email us. The could email me at home, and i could email them, but i couldn't get there mail at work at all... So, as long as you're happily receiving and posting now, we're good. eric Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Most curious. My ISP I`m not about to switch. It was commonly judged the best in Holland, and my experiences are entirely positive. Never had any complaints about bounces. And yes I did get your brief note about bounces, but I was under the impression that it was broadcast to all subscribers and that you were checking which bounced and which not, so I trusted you`d not want to be deluged with positive answers. If I misread that and you *did* expect an answer, I am very sorry for the inconvenience. >I wonder how many servers screw up like that, since "User unknown" >is obviously not true... > >I wasn't realy following the thread, but did you check the archives >to see if the messages got thru to the list itself? >I think maybe they got there, but didn't get to you? I did check, but the archive was a day or two behind with its archiving work, so that told me nothing. In fact I sent them again via `forward` half a day later. Since then I have been outside Mandrake and/or away from my box till now. If you are convinced I should contact my ISP for malperformance I will, but as somebody (James Sparenberg?) on one of the lists remarked, it is entirely possible that a server in front of sympa which might be hickuping a little and not have an outside line available would cause a bounce effect to be recorded by sympa; or at least that was the way I understood his suggestion. In any case I appreciate all your efforts and I`ll pay more attention to your similar messages in the future (though I hope, naturally, that they shalln`t be necessary).
