MESSAGES
Mailing List messages travel in "packets", there is no guarantee that the
entire message will go as one packet. The packets travel via
various internet servers to their destination address. They will be held at
some point prior to delivery until the message packets are complete
then delivered. A glitch ANY WHERE in the path will stop delivery. Most
glitches happen in winter. Any kind of a voltage spike in the system
as the message travels can alter the message's code and stop it, or send it
into electron heaven.
SUBSCRIBER REMOVAL FROM LIST
When messages are not accepted at the intended mail address they are
bounced back to the sender. In navigation-l it is the address listed
as owner of the list. Who then determines what to do to correct the problem.
Bounced subscribers are and removed from the list for the following
reasons.There will be a BOUNCE message for each message from
Nav-L to the address.
1. The addressee has a mailbox that has a quota and it is full (usually
the FREE Email addresses).
2. The addressee went on vacation closed his mailbox but did not signoff
from navigation-l.
3. There is a problem with the addressees' ISP and messages are bouncing.
4. The addressee changes ISP or closes his address without signingoff from
navigation-l
The owner of the list is responsible for maintaining the list. No magic
program exists that determines who should and should not be removed.
I usually TRY to wait 5 days before deleting an address. But every message
to that closed address from Nav-L generates a bounce message. And
it takes time to keep track of each one.
There is NO way for the an Email list or any server of knowing when
someone, dies, change address, or fail to renew their ISP. The internet and
the Email system can not generate information it can only disseminate it.
If you want your messages handled in a special way, it is YOUR
responsibility to set it up for your self. There is no magic clairvoyant
program.
It is the responsibility of the Navigation-L SUBSCRIBER to follow the
protocol of the Email list to keep it running smoothly. That means
READ and FOLLOW the !@%&X! Nav-L *WELCOME* message.

should be taken off line. The list is open to all levels of navigation
knowledge from beginners to experts. We hope that you participate in the
discussions on Navigation-L.
