[Moo] email issues

[Richard Wymarc]

This is not just an issue with our news lists. I've done some poking and Comcast has a history of blocking mail due to bogus spam worries. Add that to the fact that they have no "whitelist" option for email users and you have a problem.

This problem has been cropping up for over a year now, and Comcast seems uninterested in a permanent fix. This is especially frustrating in that our mailing lists are relatively low volume and subscription only. 

I am recommending that all Comcast subscribers consider moving their discussion group subscriptions to a Gmail (gmail.com) address. You can use Gmail to then forward the newsgroup postings to your Comcast account if you wish, or set up gmail to be accessed through your regular email program.

I am willing to provide instructions to those who need it.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help fix the problem.

  We need to do the same thing. Am tired of missing stuff and then getting it in huge globs out of order.

    There is an ongoing problem with Comcast concerning the Atlantia webserver the hosts the Moo list. On a regular basis Comcast starts bouncing legitimate email from atlantia.org and stierbach.org as spam. For this reason, I set up a gmail account for all my discussion lists, and access that via comcast. I strongly suggest that you do the same as comcast is not interested in fixing the problem. Let me know what I can do and I'll make it work.

      Greetings,



      For some reason the email Gods hate me on Sundays.  Comcast and I are trying to figure out the problem.  If you try to send me an email and it bounces back as spam please try again later or give me a call.  Flaithri and I are in discussions on other account options, since it is hitting him as well.  



      The wonders of modern technology!
