OT: Excessive Bounces.

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy-2]

Is anybody else in the UK having their membership in the Elecraft List being
disabled due to "excessive bounces"? This has been happening to me almost on
a weekly basis for some months regardless of which computer I use to post,
or I have been away. My ISP's  (Orange)  technical support people swear
blind that their system is not responsible.

Sorry for using bandwidth but temperature is rising.

73,

Occasionally I get repeat entries on my in-box and they keep re-filling no
matter how many times I delete them.  I hadn't timed it to say it happens
weekly, but that sounds about right.  I went to do my email by webmail
during those occasions and it did not re-fill from that source, but when
returning to the normal way it continued re-filling.  It usually only
happens for one day; I'll take more notice of days and times in future.  I'm
with NTL.

David, thank you for your comment. As you will see below the first part of
your message which arrived via the Elecraft route appears to be missing. I
have also noted from people's replies posted to the List that a significant
number of postings are not delivered here, nor to any folder at webmail. I
have no problems with other e-mail, but something is amiss on the "via
Elecraft" route and I don;t think that it is at my Server. I do not want to
involve Eric while he is working 24/7 on K3 related problems.

73,
Geoff

I have only experienced one bounce - approximately 2 years ago. This was due
to my mail box on the ISP (Tiscali) server filling up. At that time it was
10MB and I could not access it for a couple of weeks due to a PC fault.

Before I retired I subscribed on my office computer (I worked at the
University of Glasgow) and never had a problem, even when I was away for a
couple of weeks.

I will reply direct and through the reflector so you can compare.

http://www.orangeproblems.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=18800&sid=a25ed70ec3f22aa547b57d1a5abf26a4
it would seem that Orange has been experimenting with content based
spam filters that have been bouncing mail from various sources. For my
sins, I do a tech support column for a computer magazine and Orange
looks to me like one of the worst ISPs in the UK, a far cry from when
it was Freeserve. It seems more than likely to me that the problem
*is* at the Orange end, but if that is the case other subscribers
using this ISP should be experiencing the same problem.

Peter.

Thank you for your reply which arrived via the direct route, nothing at all
from the "via Elecraft" route.
