Am I alone in my frustration at the spam filter which appears to have =
been installed at the same time as the list moved away from Majordomo =
and over to Mailman?
At first it wouldn't allow me to originate a post without it first going =
through the moderator but it would always allow me to respond to posts. =
At first I thought it may be due to the fact I use a Hotmail account for =
all my general mail and did consider changing my list registration to my =
ISP account, but as I don't generally originate that many posts I =
figured I could live with the minor inconvenience.
This evening however (Monday 4th November), I responded to 2 posts =
within 5 minutes of each other and whilst the first one went through OK, =
the second generated an automatic message telling me it has been caught =
by the spam filter. Has anyone else experienced this?
Perhaps the moderator can relax the settings slightly on the filter and =
/ or issue clear guidelines to us all in order that we can avoid being =
caught up in the filter (and I am fairly certain that this message will =
be caught).
