[AT] test again

[Larry D. Goss]

I think you said it all when you said your ISP was labeling them as
spam.  I had that problem on an occasional basis, but spam filters are
"trainable" and I finally have the one that my ISP uses tweaked to the
point that it lets the messages through from my subscription lists but
filters out the cialis, home mortgage, foreign language, pornography,
and computer software sites.  For a while, I could go into the file of
filtered messages and I would find a whole bunch of ATIS and other list
messages listed with the others.  But I started shifting those back to
my inbox and the software took notice and stopped filtering them out.
It's been several weeks since the spam filter has filtered out something
that I really wanted to see.  Now if I could just get some of my
relatives to always put something in the SUBJECT line, then I wouldn't
have to browse through the filtered file to find those waylaid messages.

Larry,
>Ron, to my knowledge all your postings came through.

Yes they appeared around 24 hours after I sent them and at least 16
hours 
after I was informed by my ISP that the messages were being refused and 
labeled "spam".  It has been acting that way for around a week.  I have
no 
idea where the problem was/is.  It may be with my ISP or it may be with 
Spencer's end.  I have not changed a thing here for several 
years.  Somewhere else, things changed.  You cannot participate in a 
discussion by having your response show up a day later.  Just as well
off 
to read the archives.  Which I have had to do from time to time.  The
fact 
is, it is amazing this stuff works at all. <g>

No.  I receive my messages along with the rest of them.  That is how I
knew 
things were operating as they were.  Very strange, within about 16 hours

after I received notification that my messages were undeliverable, they 
came through to me along with the other ATIS messages.

Nope.  It is not.  I don't like that setting either.
