Smartgroups is trying a different approach to deal with that broken server and it DOES seem to be helping, but some messages are going missing. We moderators have NO control over this and have no idea about such messages until people tell us.

When Yahoogroups gets Spam attacks its normal behavior is to dump a lot of messages and people on very active Yahoo groups are used to that, but Smartgroups usually tries to catch up instead, so this has taken some Smartgroups members by surprise when their messages have not appeared but they also have not gotten a rejection note.

Notice, too, that at times messages do get lost in the ether so just going from what happens everywhere there will be some that do not even reach Smartgroups. This is also something over which we have no control and have no way to know about it unless told.

A reminder: attachments do not work, and if a person uses fancy font, fancy "paper", or has images on the page that can cause us to only see a blank message in our moderation functions. Using plain text is better, but email is more likely to encounter delays.

The best way to post successfully is to do it from the website
http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/ferrethealth

For a public reply select the reply arrow, and for a personal reply select the person's name, but remember that the delays may affect those because they have affected messages to us moderators.

It helps us see what is working and what is delayed if people put in the body of the post where it was sent from (website or email, and when). The sending date in the header gets altered with processing in many versions.

Also helpful is knowing the rules:
