the email world. The only explanation for lost email from the
listserve that I am aware of is mis-identification as spam. There is so
much spam that the service providers are forced to employ aggressive
spam filters -- estimates run at about 70% or more -- to keep things
mostly under control. For some reason, our listserve email appears to
fall into the spam traps much more than does personal email.<br>
<br>
A while ago, Walla Walla University gave notice that they would start
phasing out the Mailman list server that we are using. We are now the
last active list (465 addresses) and software updating has been
discontinued for some time, so we are behind by more than a dozen
updates, which may mean that list distributions are more likely to be
blocked by the spam filter at your service provider.<br>
<br>
Dave and I will be talking soon about what to do next. It is possible
that I can continue our present list on a WWU network server that I
maintain personally. That would bring some hazards, but it may be the
only way for us to continue with the same address. Otherwise, we could
go to a roughly equivalent Internet service with a different address.<br>
<br>
We should have more news before long.<br>

<div>Once again I write, as have others. It comes to my attention that
in
the past week or more (probably a lot more, actually), items have
evidently been
posted on the Geysers listserv (lists.wallawalla.edu), but they never
came to
me. I only know this because people have attached such posts to items of
their
own, which have been sent directly to me. (Chris MacIntosh, hello-- it's
been a
long time!)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It sounds like GOSA is making some favorable inroads with NPS
policies and
activities. The list ought to serve to inform people about such things.
But it
seems not to be doing so, for me and certainly not also for others.The
point is,
of course: What good is a listserv if subscribers don't receive its
posts?</div>
