When a posting can not be delivered to a user, a delivery error message is automatically sent to the Reflector Administrator. Sometimes this occurs because a user's mailbox is full and can't accept any more incoming messages. Other times, the user's eMail address has been discontinued. Every reasonable effort will be made to continue the user's Ten Tec Mail Reflector subscription. However, considering the frequency of postings and the number of subscribers, the subscription can only be continued a short time. Sometimes a user still receives postings but will be unable to post to the Reflector because his/her eMail address was changed by their Internet provider. You will need to contact the Ten Tec Mail Reflector Administrator (see below) to correct this problem.
