I stopped getting 3830 email reports years ago. It wasn't an efficient use of
email or my time, everything piecemeal like that. I'd rather go to the site and
browse.

Good morning.
The 3830 Mailing List has been around since at least 1996. My
recollection is that we had it going prior to that but the current
archives have been around since January 1996. Over the years it has been
a useful resource for the contesting community.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to deliver email to certain
(major) email providers, despite using every required email sending best
practice. We have subscribers marking email as spam (damaging server IP
reputation), subscribers who have changed email address and never
unsubscribed from the list, and many other administrative hassles.
Despite the admin hassles, Bruce Horn WA7BNM's 3830score.com site has
been wildly successful, and is really the focal point for gathering
contest scores after contests. It is difficult to imagine that anyone
would prefer getting an email for every single score that's reported.
It's not a very efficient use of email.
So unless I hear (really) loud screams before December 31, 2023, I
intend to decommission this list on that date. You can contact me at
km3t at km3t.org if you have any comments. The historical web archives
of the 3830 list will continue to be available.
