Subject: [ferrethealth] Administrative Reminder: to avoid delays work on the web
To: ferrethealth@smartgroups.com
Smartgroups has a server which is still very slow ever since it suffered bad spam attacks. That means that sometimes posts, digests, and communications sent through Smartgroups wind up delayed if they wind up on that particular server. Otherwise, they are working much better. The delays from that one can be as long as 2 weeks, and can not be predicted to be fully avoided.
It seems that the best way to get the most rapid service is the post on the website itself and also to read there. Both are very easy to do, too.
Here is the website:
http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/ferrethealth
To read just select "message"
You can view an entire discussion or can select according to the date. Moving back and forth between the two is easy.
To send a private message from the website select the poster's name.
To post a public reply from the web select the arrow.
To begin a new discussion from the website go to "Message" and then select the envelope which I think is titled "Write Message".
There is nothing we moderators can do about this delay except continue to complain about it, and it does make extra work for us, explaining it and trying to get them to fix it. Right now it appears to affect each and every Smartgroups group on and off.
We all suffer due to the damage spammers cause the internet and service providers. Sadly, sometimes so do those of us who are in need, and their ferrets.
