Additional useful information for the answer to this question is appreciated. Thanks. - Chad 17)* I don't seem to be getting any posts from the Mail<-->News Gateway. What should I do? Don't panic. a.m.m-f gets a lot of traffic and you probably notice when something is awry with some part of the Mail<-->News Gateway. There are a couple steps in the process that could be the problem and any diagnosis you can do on your own will benefit both you and others. The first thing to check is your email account. Do you have an email quota that you are violating because of too much mail? If you are in violation of your quota, your ISP may be automatically bouncing new messages addressed to you back to the sender. Are you getting other email alright? If so, there's probably nothing wrong with your mail account. Your ISP can probably help you figure out if you are having problems with your email service. The Mail<-->News Gateway works by taking mail from an NNTP newsserver it uses and forwarding it to a majordomo mailing list. There are a couple places where this whole process can be gummed up. The newsserver the Mail<-->Gateway uses may be having problems, there could be space problems on the machine that manages the majordomo list, or any of myriad of other problems. The proper thing to do when you've determined the problem isn't your email is to send an email to owner-ammf@fruvous.com and explain your problems. They will help you as soon as they can. Please don't send "I'm not getting any posts" messages to the newsgroup. The correct and direct way to get the problem fixed is to alert owner-ammf@fruvous.com of the problem. ------------------------------ Date: Friday, 05 Nov 1999 11:50:41 -0600 From: peter@ublaze.com Subject: No banner,free,homepage storage with high speed 14865 No banner,free,homepage storage with high speed. home.ublaze.com http://home.ublaze.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Nov 1999 23:05:10 GMT From: SnarkiFru Subject: Moxy #5, Splatter Splatter Hi! a-membuh me? *g* Finally caught up with my digests, tho i'm thinking the server must be failing again because i DID post about Dave's Head and haven't seen it.
