Message Bouncing - Why?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I subscribe to the Mac Weekly Journal but have not been receiving it for the past few issues. My email address is seth (at) dimbert (dot) net and that address auto-forwards all mail to seth_dimbert (at) spamcop (dot) net. Problem is that this particular mail is not getting to me. Here's an email from the MWJ help team:

Any idea what the problem is?

I recall a transient problem several days ago that resulted in Spamcop rejecting forwarded emails for a couple hours. The problem (to my knowledge) has not repeated.

It's not unusual for mailing lists to drop addresses from their list if one of the messages bounces. You probably just need to resubscribe and hope that whatever bug caused the original outage does not reappear...

P.S.: I munged your addresses in my reply - you might want to edit your post to do the same.

I am going to send a test message to both addresses to test what happens. Let me know when/if you receive them.

Is this good enough?
