LIS-Forum emails
by Francis Jayakanth 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Dear Members Just wanted to let you all know that lis-forum postings approved for distribution are delivered to the list members with a considerable amount of time lag during the past week or so. Sometimes the delay is nearly 24 hours, and some other times it is more than 24 hours. Prima facie, there seems to be no issue with the lis-forum server or the forum software. The problem has been reported to the email support team. The situation has improved since this morning. I need to confirm with the email support team if the problem has been fixed. With regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth Moderator, LIS-Forum JRD Ta memorial Library IISc. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
