Re: [ga] Weekly posting summary for ga@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This would be very simple to fix. If you sign up to a Gmail account that is 
dedicated to this list, solely for stats purposes, you can create a filter 
within Gmail that *never* sends email to the spam folder. Assuming you create 
an impossibly hard to guess email address (somerandomstring189y5865 @ gmail.com 
) and never send outgoing email with it (i.e. continue to use the 
narten@xxxxxxxxxx email address as your "From", including from the stats 
program), it should get no other email except that coming from the list you 
wish to monitor for stats.

Sincerely,

FYI, these stats have been off for a few weeks. (I know the issue was
raised earlier, but I didn't look closely enough.)

The weekly mail stats are generated based on the messages delivered to
*my* mailbox every week. However, our internal spam filters have
apparently changed recently, and some legitimate mail is apparently
getting dropped. All of Joe's messages (3 this week) appear to fall
under that category, but there are others.

I am working with my IT folk to correct the situation. They have
confirmed that our internal filters are discarding the mail, so it is
NOT, I repeat NOT, something caused by ICANN or that they can fix.

Apologies for any inconviences.

Thomas
