Email Problems

[John Jones <jijones@usjoneses.com>]

Recently both AOL and Yahoo have taken steps to protect users from spoofed email attacks.

Unfortunately, this policy also breaks email mailing lists like AISDiscuss@aisboard.org and means that AOL and Yahoo users that send email to AISDiscuss will have their email rejected by AOL and Yahoo - meaning the other AOL and Yahoo addresses on AISDiscuss will not receive their email.

If you really want the details you can read all about it at:

There are two solutions:

1: Require that anyone on AISDiscuss (and by implication AISVote and AISConfer) must have an email address that is not an AOL.com or Yahoo.com address.

or

2: We are working on a fix that may on may not be viable. Chris (our host at asiboard.org) has a solution for which we are working out the details).


IN THE MEANTIME:


You should manually check the AISDiscuss archives for recent activity and to keep up with any current discussions using your browser (Chrome, Firefox, whatever). I hope that none of you are using Internet Explorer - and if you don't understand that, email me privately.

The archives are public and do not require a password. Then can be found at:

Stay tuned


Thanks

John
