[Dixielandjazz] A note to DJML members about why postings get delayed

[Haupt Dave]

DJML list-mates,

There are many reasons why your postings may get
delayed.  I am intrigued by the most common one:
people who are not DJML subscribers attempting to
post.  Over the long weekend, maybe a half dozen
postings about Anita O'Day came from individuals whose
email addresses are not on the subscriber list.  I'm
assuming you get the list forwarded to you by a
member, or you're using email forwarding from your
list address.

The software that supports DJML is relatively dumb -
if you have subscribed as
"fred_flintstone at the_flintstones.com", and you attempt
to send an email from
"fred_g_flintstone at the_flintstones.com" or
"fred_flintstone at the_flintstones.com.uk", your message
will be placed into the moderator holding tank until a
judge can revew your case....er...I mean until a
moderator can review the message.

Allowing only subscribers to post prevents junk mail -
we get several hundred spam/junk emails per week in
that e-drunk tank.  Sometimes, if there are 50 or so
held messages, in his haste to get through the sorting
process, the moderator or henchman may inadvertendly
delete a useful message.

Best of the season to all,

Dave Haupt
