Many of our newer members are concerned when they don't see their own messages posted to the list. This is caused by listserver's default setting which is norepro which means that your own message doesn't come to you along with the rest....unnecessarily confusing but... To change this: [log in to unmask] and in the body of the note, type: set parkinsn repro If you suddenly stop receiving the parkinsn messages, follow Camilla Flinterman's/John Cottingham's instructions re checking your settings. Sometimes, for some specific error messages, the listserver will auto-delete a member. Also, if I receive multiple error messages for your account and can't get a reply, I have to delete a member. There are many causes for this...a member changes servers or goes on vacation and forgets to change the settings to nomail or the server is down. Another cause of error messages is not deleting or downloading and then deleting messages. If you exceed your quota, your server will not allow any more messages in to your account. Hope this helps.
