SOME MAIL TO THE FHL IS BEING LOST OR DELAYED.
Sent from the website, Wed, April 26, 12:37 EST U.S.
There are at least two places where things are being lost recently because I have had three mails to the Ferret Mailing List lost in the ether recently, so some nodes that transfer mails may be suffering, too, but we know that Smartgroups itself is having problems. I think that most of the problems members are encountering are at Smartgroups itself.
We have heard though the moderators' support group that Smartgroups is thought to have had one of its servers damaged in the spam attacks it suffered. Why the heck they are not replacing that server I have no idea, but if that is a correct assignment of the problem then I am afraid that it is losing some mails and delaying others.
*****If you are among those having this difficulty then the next time you post try using the write-on-web option if you normally send by mail or vice versa, by selecting mail at the website (URL in my address) and let's see if that works.*****
*****PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give the date sent and whether you are sending by email or from the website in the body of your message***** That way we will all see what is functioning best if either method is currently working better.
Sending a mail from the website is easy. For a new message just select the write mail envelop and begin.
For a reply select the reply arrow by the message to which you are replying. (For private replies select the person's name.)
If you have had website sent message fail then it is also easy to send by email. Just use the same subject line as the post to which you are replying or write a new subject line for a new message and send the post to
ferrethealth@smartgroups.com
or a private message to the writer's own addy.
I am sorry that this frustrating problem is occurring for some mails. It is not something over which we moderators have any control, and it actually is creating extra work for us.
