Is there a problem with the On-Rev email server

[Peter Haworth]

Just as a follow up to a post I made a couple of weeks ago, I still do not
see any posts to this list from people with yahoo and aol addresses. Only
way I find out is if someone replies to them.  Every week or so, I get an
automated email from the list administration that my membership has been
disabled due to too many bounces. Fortunately, there's a link that turns it
back on immediately so not a huge deal, just irksome that perfectly genuine
emails to the list are somehow bounced  for some list members.

Heather is aware of the problem but it seems there's little that can be
done to fix it.
