Email distribution inconsistencies using members-7892@toastmastersclubs.org

Just a note about email addresses.

If you post them in ordinary text or as quotes, they get obfuscated. That is, in ordinary English, bots can't come along and copy them automatically.

BUT if you post them as code, it's different. The email addresses aren't hidden from bots.

Something to think about, if that's of concern to you.

Well, it is kind of a no-win situation, then. If we don't do headers as code, the forum software starts making up emoticons from it. If we do, then we are vulnerable to spam-bots.

Ugggggh!

We will have to ditch the email addresses when we are done with them.

Check your original post above... it says skpal29@hotmail.com not skpak29@hotmail.com ... Which is it?

Again, typos are more common than people think.

The email in question is skpal29@hotmail.com (as mentioned in all the previous comments aganst this topic)

Noted that typos are more common than people think.... being in IT myself I can certainly concur!

I am waiting for the user to double check his SPAM and JUNK folders for me. I will report back once he responds.

Hi all,

Just heard back from Sanat (skpal29@hotmail.com) and he definitely cannot see the emails in his JUNK folder. He sent me a screen-shot confirming that it was empty.

So we are back to square-one on this issue. I sent another test email to president-7892@toastmastersclubs.org this morning with the subject of "Test email - 4 Feb 2015 11:46am" (He is linked to this group address.) He confirms that he did not receive the email.

Any thoughts/ideas as to the next steps...?

Thanks,
Andew

I just remembered that since this is Hotmail/Outlook, your president may need to do some changes in his mail settings to make server@toastmastersclubs.org a safe sender. When I got a Hotmail/outlook account for testing purposes, I did not receive FTH email either, initially. I had to fiddle with it to get it to work. MS is very finicky with FTH email.
