Problems in Delivering of LIS-Forum Mails
by Mailing List Admin 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Dear Members, Some of you may be experiencing problem in receiving LIS-Forum mails especially during the past month or so. Several of you have brought this issue to the attention of the moderator. Initially, I thought the problem could be with individual subscriptions and therefore all such subscribers who had reported the problem, their subscriptions were re-created individually. This exercise didn't solve the problem. The matter was then taken up with our network team. I was told by the network administrator that there is a problem especially with the yahoo domain in delivering of bulk mails. Since the traffic to the yahoo domain is very heavy from the IISc domain, most of the mails from the IISc domain to the yahoo domain are being discarded by yahoo, which implies that LIS-Forum mails to yahoo are also being discarded. The IISc network team is pursuing the matter with yahoo. Since about a week or so, there seem to be some improvement as some of the LIS-Forum mails are being received on the yahoo domain but the problem is not resolved fully. I was also told that sometime back there was a similar problem with the hotmail domain as well. The hotmail issue seem to have been resolved fully but the problem is yet to be fully resolved on the yahoo and perhaps on other domains as well. There doesn't seem to be any problem in the receipt of postings although the number of postings and the number new subscriptions / day have come down considerably especially during the last 2 weeks of June. There is a marked improvement in the number of posting being received during the last 5/6 days. As you may be aware, all the approved messages gets archived automatically. They can be browsed by visiting the URL, http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/ One can also search the archived messages at http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/search.html For those who have been having problem in receiving the approved messages, they can visit the archives and get to know all the approved messages on a day-to-day basis. This, you may have to do till the problem in the delivery of LIS-Forum mails is resolved fully. Also, an appeal to all the members to use the list very judiciously. Presently, it is being mostly used for everything else other than to discuss matters related to the profession. Henceforth, we are going to be much more vigilant while approving the messages. We'll be sending the rules of the list that the members should follow while posting messages. Any message not complying to the rules will not be approved. Your cooperation in the smooth running of the list is solicited. With best wishes, - Moderator
