Hi Folks,
I received the following a few days ago from "Lyris ListManager"
<lyris@it.lists.it.agilent.com>:
> This email message is to notify you that your membership to vrf
> has been put on "hold".
> This means that you will not receive mail from 'vrf'.

As you might expect, my incoming mail must pass through a firewall and
this is what's causing the rejections. I looked at the "rejected
message" list (103 messages in the last 5 days) and I can't see anything
that the firewall appears to have done incorrectly. In fact, at least
2/3 of the rejects definitely contained viruses. I don't know what
world the "Lyris Listmanager" is living in but refusing "5 recent
messages" has got to be "normal and expected" for most of us. Also, I
wonder how the "ListManager" actually determines that a given message
was really sent by one of us and shouldn't have been rejected.
Unfortunately, I can't determine what vrf messages were rejected - the
list I looked at had only one obvious vrf sender. In general, our
firewall is not happy with .exe attachments (at the moment) but I rarely
see these with vrf messages (all rejected?). So, apparently, there is
nothing I can do to prevent getting kicked off the vrf in the future
and, even if there was, loosening our firewall because it rejected 5
questionable messages doesn't seem too bright.

Very strange.
Barrie, did you by chance at the VEE days seminar last year hear about
the Yahoo Groups archival arrangement for our list? Check there. Your
missing messages(?) are probably stored there, without the infected
attachments of course. That's where I found the one that Shawn, and
company were discussing.
Personally I'm convinced that particular list server does not even
live on our world. I'm not sure which one, but it is not here.
