Did not get any messages today and when going to the groups.io web site said messages were being bounced I unbounced my messages but still not getting the normal trafic from the groups. Anyone else having this issue?


 

Don,

You really need to take a look at the group archives for your various groups as a quick check of what traffic is like, now.  The entire time someone is bouncing you will get nothing, and unbouncing does not retroactively get you any messages.  Email can either be delivered in realtime, or it can't.

Many very high traffic groups will have periods of several hours to even a full day where it is uncharacteristically slow.  The only way you can tell, really, if you're missing new content from after you've unbounced is to do a quick check of the archive and look at the date/time indicated on a few messages at the top (if sorted with newest first, which is what I do).

Yes, all email lists occasionally have funny turns. Here in the Virgin Media servers, I sometimes find email arriving in batches, but there seems to be no logic to which ones come in first, then the whole thing will go back to normal. I suspect that some spam attack has something to do with this. Quite why messages get bounced is also a mystery, and thankfully, its not happened recently.
