Wiardgroup

I used to be on a mailing list called Synth-DIY.

It seems to have slowly sputtered out.

Did they move servers and you have to re-sub? Anyone have any information?

Thank you!

I received 15 messages on Friday.  I know the list changed servers and went
from majordomo to some other type of list sw.   Some people had to resub as
a result.  It's unclear if things are still working quite right for
everybody.  Maybe resubbing might work for you(?)

Here's the text of an email from Rick Jansen, dated 31 March:

=====
The new synth-diy list is up and running, now with MailMan.

I think it is best if you explicitly re-subscribe and choose a password:

<http://dropmix.xs4all.nl/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy>

I'm new to administering MailMan myself, so please bear with some
possible hiccups.

The page <http://dropmix.xs4all.nl/rick/Emusic/Synth-diy/> will be
updated later, reflecting the new MailMan setup.

Please let me know (per private email) if you see things that are wrong?

=====

I have a pretty good feeling you have his email address, but if you don't, I
can send it privately to you.

The old server died in March. Rick Jansen has since replaced it.
The new list has been up and active for a month.

The reason why you don't get any emails is probably the
challenge-response spam filter you use.

1. The mailing list server sends you an email.

2. Your mail server spits back a challenge email.

3. The mailing list server gets your challenge email, has no idea
   what to do with it and files it away in /dev/null.

4. Your mail server gets no response to its challenge so does not
   deliver the mailing list post to you.
