July Newsletter Sent

Once again we have sent out the July Newsletter. Please let us know if you get it or not. We are still trying to iron out the problems. Hopefully this time it is all fixed. if not we will keep trying.

Got it OK ta.

Didn't realise it was Sam that decided the community builds on his own.... Thought it was a collective mod/administration thing. Kudos to him.

nope, not got it even tho i am getting topic reply notifications, i checked the junkmail too

I'm not on the undelivered list Buck but I didn't get it either.

Didn't get it and checked spam folder also    Was talking to my tech. buddy about this and Joe said that if you don't have a commercial account the servers will see the large bulk e-mail's as spam and only send a few of them out, Joe also said that you might want to try making groups of about 25 or so, send out the newsletter to each group at a different time to avoid the spam block from the server's ( Joe's been doing this for over 20yrs and has a very good shop ) Don't know if you can make groups or not but I would check into it

Oh good god I don't want to do that, I retract my statement   

Did not get it either, in regular or junk mail!

Al and Buck, I didn't get on my yahoo account but I got it on my cox account which tells me that it is the server blocking the e-mail/news letter as spam, not all servers are blocking it. Trying to help you guys out a little   

 

John which server? The one it's sent from or the one that receives it?

Buck, I would say the one that receives it    

Are you sending these out using Skid's Place as the sender ??

You had 48 come back as undelivered , I would check the server ext ( the last part of the e-mail addy like @yahoo.com ) to see how many are the same on the list.

Buck, I opened a new account ( mustang2308 ) with my cox e-mail account and received the news letter on that one but not ( john2308 ) my yahoo e-mail account. Al knows about the new account and will close it when we get this figured out.

Sorry, nothing in my IN box regarding a newsletter.

No email here either!   

nothing, nowt, zilch, zero, bugger all, sweet fa!, conspicuous by its absence

perhaps we should get everyone to confirm email addressess or something? althhough i do get notification of thread updates

Buck, P M sent   

Thanks John.

OK I've spent half hour looking through this problem at a site called serverfault, it seems that yahoo,  where your newsletter is routed through buck,  can have a few problems with sending bulk emails.
They seem to recommend sending out small quantities at a time so they don't block the sending function "in house".
Their website says they recognise spam being sent and received and will sometimes block it at source.

Their website has a "best practice guidelines"  page
https://help.yahoo.com/mkb/article.php?locale=en_US&page=content&y=PROD_POST&id=SLN3435&actp=lorax&pir=Ak2sYyZibUkyrf_nAaVHuep42_AHFZYFCWVmMME_mrOGlWGX4zFq5wsiXbwQFM9I0s9ePT_6DMtQ9y1KM6IzGtPatzBjXgdHhVQBATH.LVpys8I-

And there's apparently a form you can fill out for bulk sending process. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/bulkv2.html

Their site has quite a few "tickets" submitted for bulk mail failure recently, far too many links to put here.

Hope this is of some help.
it's a shame I can't sit at your pc for an hour or so... I could put my MSCE to use and hopefully suss it,

FAO Al.....
Also just got the email from noreply@editboard so that works OK

Newsletter just arrived in my spam folder Al.
