Re: [chat] re mail

[Matt Moor <mmoor@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew,

SLUG is a volunteer run organisation. We do not have full time 
employees, and the committee generally doesn't have anyone available to 
respond to an email within 20 minutes on a good day, let alone a Sunday 
evening.

I believe most of your questions about the functionality of the SLUG 
email system were addressed in John Ferlito's response to you - 
http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug-chat/2007/05/msg00047.html dated 
30 May 2007.

As to who is responsible for the SLUG email system, that would be the 
Committee, as per Erik's response, and there are a few of us who share 
the responsibility of keeping the rusty, the SLUG web and mail server, 
running.

Looking at the mail server logs, I can't see any email that's been 
rejected from your email address, though the SLUG server does employ 
greylisting - http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting - and it seems 
that since Yahoo uses a different outbound MX address for almost every 
email from your account, your emails will get delayed by up to 10 
minutes before being shunted through to the mailing lists.

Regards,

Matt Moor

SLUG Secretary
