Some FAQ's for BLML.

• If you just received a mail with subject:
  
  1. "your mail to blml awaits moderator approval" and/or
  2. "your mail to blml contains a suspicious header"
  or similar, please read and understand the following: BLML uses strict spam filters to reject the literally 100's of spam mails it gets on an average day. Occasionally a mail cannot be classified by the spam filters. In that case, the mail is put in a separate queue, a human has to decide if the posting is related to the game of bridge. If it is, your posting will appear on the list in the next day or two. There is no need to take further action.
• My posting from a different account did not make it to the list.
  Great. This is how things should work. Seriously, mails from non-subscribers are automatically rejected by the list software. If you sent mail from a different account, you are not recognized as a subscriber and your mail is discarded too. Send your mail from the account that you subscribed with, or subscribe twice. If this causes problems for you, contact me.
• If you did send in an administrative request:
  Common tasks such as subscribing, unsubscribing, changing mail addresses, suspending/enabling mail, can be done through a webinterface. Start up Mozilla or Internet Explorer and enter:

  and scroll down to "blml subscribers". Enter your mail address and password. There are instructions on what to do when you forgot your password. Everything else should be self-explanatory. If you did succeed in solving your problem yourself, please send me a mail to tell me.
