Colleagues,

Since I have had the recent experience of blocked messages from NIFL list 
subscribers, I thought that some of you might be having the same experience.  I 
am posting a message from Connie Harich at NIFL, which contains an explanation:



We have received a few messages from subscriber's servers stating that the 
NIFL-lists messages are being identified as Spam (junk mail). This could explain 
the recent difficulty some of you subscribers are having in receiving 
discussion list mail. AOL is a major culprit, we have contacted them previously, but 
it seems that they are still blocking some of our discussion list mail and 
dumping it in their spam mailbox.

NIFL-list subscribers using AOL are not receiving all the mail posted to
the lists.

If you are not receiving mail from the NIFL lists, please triple check your 
spam blocking settings and general spam mailboxes (if your service provides 
them). If that does not solve the missing message problems, please contact us. If 
we cannot find the problem on our end, the subscriber will need to contact 
their service provider to see if NIFL-list messages are being blocked
and deleted without their knowledge.

Unfortunately, as we discussed before, the @nifl.gov email address is being 
spoofed, which is one of the reasons we have suddenly found ourselves on spam 
blocking lists.


I hope this helps.

All the Best,

Meta Potts, Moderator 4-EFF List
