Hi,

There are several reasons an email sent to the listserv may not show up on
the list, most are not due to blocking.

Your post may never reach the server running the listserv software.  This
happens when there are problems between your ISP and the server.  Remember
the internet is just a collection of servers that cooperate to deliver
email, web pages etc.  There are a lot of things that can mess up this
process.  Failing hardware, incorectly configured software, bad DNS
information, or a power outage at any point along the way can disrupt the
process.  Normally if an email fails to reach its destination the server
that sent the email will try to re-send it for up to 5 days.  If it still
can not deliver the email after the 5 days, it will send you an email
telling you it could not deliver the message.

If your post arrives at the server running the listserv software, it will
either be posted to the list, forwarded to one of the moderators for
acceptance, rejected by the software and sent back to you with a message
explaining why it was rejected (spam, virus, bad headder, not from a
subscriber, etc).

If you have problems posting to the list, send an email describing your
problem to [log in to unmask]

We can usually help you figure out where the problem is.
