Email Error Msg
« on: August 21, 2006, 01:31:05 AM »
I used the FSO email utility to send the plane request to the Allied side and received the following error message:

*************************************************
Your mail to '9giap' with the subject

    Maltese Miracle Frame 2 Allied Plane Request

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

    Too many recipients to the message

Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive
notification of the moderator's decision.
*************************************************

It's not a big deal, but it does make me wonder if I need to email 9giap seperately. Seems a bit poor that the email utility has a maximum number limit. :noid

I've seen this message before, Nomde... even before the e-mail utility came about. It is something on 9Giap's end of things, something their server does to incoming mail.

In the end, it always seems to go through to the right person and get distributed.

We all have a blind date with Destiny... and it looks like she's ordered the lobster.

Yes, this is on 9GIAP's end -- usually a spam filter.  I've also seen it on the ahevents.org registration where users who sign up and attempt to get the confirmation message, but the confirmation message is blocked due to one or another ISPs wanting to validate who you are, etc.  I ignore them figuring that if the user really wants to sign up, they need to tell their ISP to back off the spam filtering / identity management stuff.

Its only going to get worse as more and more ISPs attempt to block spam, but end up getting non-profits and others who don't want to or shouldn't have to complete "who we are" type inquiries/surveys before they will allow email from your site onto their network.
