AMSAT-BB,

              The AMSAT IT Team is aware of the inconsistent deliverability of AMSAT-BB e-mails. It affects several of our lists/reflectors. We see that some messages are only delivered to certain domains (ie. yahoo.com, but not gmail.com, etc.) It seems that this issue is more prevalent on lists with a lot of traffic, namely AMSAT-BB and ANS. This also seems to change randomly.

              We have been working on several solutions to try to improve deliverability. We are currently implementing one that is expected to resolve a lot of the issues noted. As a result of the changes, you may see that the “to” or “from” format of the e-mails may look different. However, the function of the lists are unchanged. You don’t need to change anything on your end.

              This message will serve as the first test of the changes; and we hope to see that it is delivered far and wide. We will be monitoring for any indications that we have somehow made things worse. Rest assured, we will undo the changes if that seems to be the case.

              We appreciate everyone’s patience, as we work to solve these complex problems. Feel free to always contact [email protected] to register your e-mail related complaints. We also like to read when things work great and you are happy with the service(s). We are a very small (less than 5) person volunteer team, and we all have full-time jobs and families. We do our best.

              Thank you and Happy Holidays.
