Despite having the correct settings, I have not been receiving my own posts, and, because I use a client email aggregator, not the web, I don't know if my posts make.

I contacted the listmaster. The reply was to the effect that sometimes it happens, and we don't know why.

So I am running 2 tests
- originate a post
- reply to a post

Rich,

In my experience, this is a “feature” of gmail. Apparently they assume that you should not receive a copy of your own posts.  I went through this same exercise a while back.  Didn’t find a solution.  I just assume my posts make it and they seemingly do.

I ran these tests --- have not logged in to see what messages were received, but one person replied to the msg off list, so it got through

originated an email to the list - got my own post back, and got a bounce msg, too, because I asked for both

replied to a post sent to me personally, but in reply to my list post - got the bounce, but not the msg

replied to a post from someone else about a different matter - got the bounce, but not the msg

replied to my own message, in the once case where I received it from the list  - got the bounce, but not the msg


Because this list is different, at least for me, when I reply, I usually don't get elecraft as the addressee, I get others. Sometimes elecraft shows up in the CC place. So my habit now is to "reply all" which captures all the addressees. I then delete the individuals, unless I specifically want to sent there, and replace all the addressees with one address, the elecraft mailman address. That ensures that I am sending back to the list, which is what I want to do most of the time. It seems to work.

As you can see from above, if I originate a message, I get it from the list server, but if I reply, I don't. Does this have summat to do with the way email headers are formed, and what mailman is using to determine the potential list of addressees? So even though I replied, my email address is not attached to a header that mailman uses to determine who gets the replies? If I originate, there are no other email addresses in the headers, so I /have/ to show up in the right header, but if I reply...?

I vaguely understand this...that is, I completely get your point, but not sure what gmail does...

nonetheless...I did get a copy of an email I originated in gmail, which seems to imply that this is not a gmail issue. That is, why would gmail decide that it is OK to send me a post from the list that I originated, but not OK to send me one that is a reply to one from the list?

You can enable a Gmail setting on your account to cc or bcc you on every message you send. Of course this doesn't indicate if the forum received and posted your message but you would have a copy of what you sent.You can log onto the forum website to check if your message was received in case you don't see it included in the subsequent thread. If it is not there you can resend it from your Gmail "Sent" folder. Ken WA2LBI LG G6 ------ Original message------From: David HerringDate: Tue, Oct 20, 2020 12:52To: Rich NE1EE;Cc: [hidden email];Subject:Re: [Elecraft] acknowledgement of post testRich,

Gmail is doing that for you.  They do you the "favor" of not repeating
what you sent.  Several folks have posted questions about that behavior.
