Topics covered in this issue include: 1) PUBYAC Migration Woes by "Pyowner" <pyowner@pallasinc.com> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message-ID: <011901c401c2$72cf7be0$9e88c3ac@aoldsl.net> From: "Pyowner" <pyowner@pallasinc.com> To: <pubyac@prairienet.org> Cc: "PUBYAC" <pubyac@lists.prairienet.org> Subject: PUBYAC Migration Woes Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2004 01:26:51 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all. I'm again writing you all from the "old" PUBYAC to ensure that all of you will get this message. To be safe I'm also sending it to the "new" PUBYAC, so some of you will get it twice. I know a little bit more today. 1) If you are not getting your PUBYAC postings from the new PUBYAC, it is because they are BOUNCING. You can confirm this by clicking on the personalized link in your Welcome message (it looks something like: https://mail.prairienet.org/mailman/options/pubyac/your.userid%40domain.name ) and inputting your password. When you do this, you'll get a screen that will say something at the top like "Your bounce score is 3.0 out of 10.0." This means that your messages have bounced three days in a row. If it reaches 10, MailMan unsubscribes you. I've adjusted the maximum number up to give us time to solve the problem. 2) The bounces are not consistent in a domain name. For example, at Jefferson County Colorado, about half of the subscribers are bouncing while the other half is getting their messages as normal, either individual or digest. The same thing goes for AOL. I do not know why yet. 3) The bounces are not confined to a section of the subscriber list. Thank you to all who responded to my request yesterday. WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR NOW: 1) If your system has spam filters, add the following addresses to the "known" or "accepted" list: pubyac@lists.prairienet.org pubyac@prairienet.org pubyac-request@lists.prairienet.org pubyac-bounces@lists.prairienet.org pyowner@pallasinc.com pymoderate@pallasinc.com pyowner@aol.com For example, in AOL you would add these to your Address list. In Hotmail, you add these to your Safe List. In some library systems, you will have to get your IT people to add them. 2) If you have your Mail settings set to block addresses that contain URLs, you will block PUBYAC messages, because we put lots of URLs in our posts. Turn that off. More tomorrow, I hope. Please continue posting to the new PUBYAC at pubyac@lists.prairienet.org. On the lighter side, I had a weird dream last night. PUBYAC turned into a nice little pink pig. Not like Piglet, but a nice lean little healthy energetic pig, about 8 weeks old. My dad used to raise hogs, so I know what a healthy piglet looks like. It was running around and I kept calling it with an odd emphasis on the first syllable, sort of like 'PUByac, PUByac.' I usually pronounce it 'pubYAC.' Then it started wearing a clear bread loaf bag. Its little legs were poking through the plastic on the bottom, and the opening was neatly gathered under a collar so that the edges formed this little plastic ruffle all around. The bag had words on it, but I don't remember what it said--I don't think it was Wonder Bread. And for some reason, everyone was speaking in Tagalog. I was so happy that I remembered so much Tagalog (official language of the Philippines) because when you don't use it you start to lose it, but I couldn't figure out why so many people knew Tagalog, since it's really not all that common of a language. I'm not sure what this all means, but it's clear that PUBYAC is weighing heavily on my mind.
