[5-DayForum] Why can't I post?

[Bill Effros]

You must join the 5-Day Forum to freely post.

Each message posted by non-members must first be cleared by me.  This is
how I filter out the spammers.  Sometimes I'm not on top of all messages
posted to the Forum, so a message waits for me to find it before going
through.

Even after you become a member, the first time you post, it must go
through me.  If I remember to clear your "moderator" flag, all
subsequent posts go directly to the Forum, without waiting for my
approval.  I remember most of the time.

If you are in "Digest" mode, you won't know you have posted until you
get the next Digest.

Once you're a member of the Forum, you can change your subscription
around to suit yourself.  You can go into digest mode so you only get
one e-mail a day.  You can go into vacation mode, so you don't get any
e-mail, but you retain the ability to post to the list when you choose
to do so.

If you look in the subject line and it says within brackets "5-DayForum"
that means it came through the list server, and everyone else on the
list got the same message.

If your e-mail is not posting, even after you're on the list, send
yourself a carbon copy at the same time you send to the list.  If you
don't get the copy, the problem is on your end.  If you do get the copy,
but the email doesn't post to the Forum, it is likely it really did post
to the Forum, as well, and you should get a reply at some point if you
wait, or look around in your own computer.

Check the security settings on your computer.  Because of the high
volume of email, some spam filters will identify the 5-DayForum as spam,
and throw some stuff into your junk folder.  If you find some 5-DayForum
email in your junk folder, set your spam filter to accept all incoming
email from "www.5-DayForum.com".

If my server goes down, which happens from time to time, you won't get
any 5-DayForum email from anyone until we fix my server on my end.  At
that point, you'll get everything posted while we were down.  The server
isn't smart enough to arbitrarily discriminate against you.
