Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
I'm sorry to report that Microsoft Hotmail and Live have banned many
if not all Osgeo mailing lists. The reason cited includes <i>"Emails
rejected by Outlook for policy reasons. A block has been placed
against your IP address because we have received complaints
concerning emails coming from that IP address"</i>.<br>
<br>
The Osgeo sys admins are aware of the issue and seeing what can be
done to get us removed from the block, but I've no idea how long
that will take, or even if it will be successful.<br>
<br>
On our end, after Mailman receives too many notices of failed
messages that email address is placed on a "no mail" list. So, even
if/when the mixup with Microsoft is fixed those accounts will still
not receive mail until that `nomail` flag is changed. <br>
<br>
Users can change their email address their subscriber options page,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/options/osgeo4w-dev">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/options/osgeo4w-dev</a>. (The nomail flag
can also be reset here.)<br>
<br>
I will email this notice directly to those users who I know are
affected, but don't know if that will cover everyone.<br>
<br>
best regards,<br>
