Dear MassHistPres,

 

I am getting bounce messages from you and have not been in receipt of
traffic for about two months.

 

Are you aware of the Comcast problem explained by Chris Skelly, below?

 

Regards,

I am writing to you as one of the 79 comcast email address subscribers on
masshistpres, the statewide listserve for historic preservation.  

 

Several weeks ago, Comcast unexpectedly stopped allowing masshistpres email
postings through to anyone with a comcast email address.  This is apparently
because they are assuming masshistpres is spam generated.  The masshistpres
listserve has been operating for years so I am unclear why this suddenly
came up as a concern from comcast.  Several of you have already contacted me
to complain and contacted comcast as well.  Personally, as a comcast user as
well, I have gone to my account and shut off my spam filter.  However,
masshistpres emails are still not getting through my comcast account.  

 

This morning, I was unsuccessful in my attempt to resolve this issue with
comcast.  As the masshistpres listserve administrator, I will keep trying.
Our listserve hosts at Umass/Boston are working on this with comcast as
well.  If you decide to contact comcast yourself, please feel free to direct
any questions they have to me.  

 

Chris.
