mail going missing

Topics: Installation, Setup & Upgrades
Is anyone else experiencing this ? I am quite sure I am loosing e-mail from this list. Example, I find replies to posts, but the posts being replied to are not there. And I also only received about 10 posts for this weekend. My company installed mailsweeper last week, and I have a feeling I am loosing mail because of that, but just want to check with you guys and girls first. Continuous battle with my network admins just to get the work done - sigh ...

The list was very quiet this weekend; I would have said there were less than ten posts. With those numbers, I doubt you lost anything over the past couple of days. As to missing other posts, such as originals, I've seen the same sort of problem with hotmail, though it has been much better recently. (I hope I didn't just jinx that!) I worked with the IIUG Webmaster to get additional information about the loss and to verify that it wasn't just my account or setup. (Thanks again guys!) There were verifiable errors on the hotmail side, and it was happening to many of us with hotmail accounts. So... if your network guys can't help, I'd suggest checking with the folks at the IIUG. They may be able to give you additional information to help the admins on your side. -- June Hunt
