What should - I do?</A> -</H2> -There are a few common reasons for this: - -<UL> -<LI>No one has sent any mail to the list(s) you're on for a little while. - -<P> -To check if this is the case, try visiting the archives of the list - (assuming that the list has archives). If the list has no archives, you - may have to ask another subscriber. (See Section <A HREF="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</A> for help - in finding the list archives.) - -<P> -<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b> -Generally, it is considered - impolite to send test messages to the entire list. - If you feel a need to test that the list is working and for some reason you - cannot simply compose a regular message to the list, it is less disruptive - to send a help message to - the list request address (LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN) to see if that works, - or to contact the list - administrator (LISTNAME-owner@DOMAIN) to ask if the list is working.</span> - -<P> -</LI> -<LI>You were bouncing mail and have had mail delivery (temporarily) - disabled by the list software. - -<P> -If your mail provider ``bounces'' too many messages (that is, it tells - Mailman that the message could not be delivered) - Mailman eventually stops trying to send you mail. This feature allows - Mailman to gracefully handle addresses which no longer exist (for example, - the subscriber has found a new Internet service provider and forgot to - unsubscribe the old address), as well - as addresses which are temporarily out-of-service (for example, the - subscriber has used up all of the allotted space for his or her email - account, or the subscriber's mail provider is experiencing difficulties). - -<P> -Even if you are unaware of any difficulties with your mail provider, it - is a good idea to check this. Some popular webmail providers and - internet servers are not as reliable as one might assume, nor is the - internet as a whole. You may want to also send yourself a test message - from another account or ask a friend to send you a test message to make - sure your subscribed address is working. - -<P> -To check if this may be the reason you are not receiving messages, log in - to the your options page (See - Section <A HREF="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</A> for more details on how to do this) and - look at your options. - If your subscription has been disabled or Mailman has received bounces from - your email address, there will be a big banner at the top of this page. - -<P> -To re-enable mail delivery, look for an option marked ``Mail Delivery'' and - set it to ``Enabled'' to start receiving mail again. - To get rid of your bounce score, you can disable and then re-enable delivery. - For more instructions on disabling or enabling mail delivery, - see Section <A HREF="node20.html#sec:nomail">7.1</A>. - -<P> -<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b> -Even if you have not been disabled at the time you check, you could be - bouncing messages and not have reached the threshold for your - subscription to be disabled. You may need to check again.</span> - -<P> -</LI> -<LI>There is a delay or break in the networks between you and the - list server. - -<P> -No matter what many of us would like, the internet is not 100% - reliable, nor is it always fast. Sometimes, messages simply take a long - time to get to you. Try to be patient, especially if the server is far - (in terms of networks, not geography, although often one implies the other) - from your internet service provider. - -<P> -To check if this might be causing your problem, you can try pinging - the list server or tracing the route between you and it. (Instructions - on how to do this varies from platform to platform, so you may want to - use a search engine to find those appropriate for you.) - -<P> -</LI> -<LI>The mail server or Mailman might not be functioning properly. This - can happen if the system is overloaded with viruses or spam and the mail - system that hosts Mailman has trouble keeping up. - -<P> -To test if this is a case, try visiting the list's web interface and - try sending a message to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command - ``<var>help</var>'' (without the quotes) in the <span class="mailheader">Subject:</span>. If - neither of these works after a reasonable length of time, this may be - the problem.
