I did get a reply so the list server is working fine. It just took a |
63 |
while and made me question whether it got lost somewhere. This has been |
64 |
a problem in the past, distant past as far as I know. I was just |
65 |
beginning to wonder since it was a while before it got a reply. |

From the research I have done, it appears to be google and not even |
84 |
anything to do with Gentoo lists. It appears to do this with all |
85 |
mailing lists. I'm not a email guru but it appears that google picks up |
86 |
on the idea that it originated from that email account hence it already |
87 |
has a copy in the sent folder. So then it figures it doesn't need to |
88 |
send it any father. |

I think the biggest problem is that I use POP access and I'm on |
91 |
dial-up. I had serious issues with setting up filters in the first |
92 |
place. Some of the option are missing when you are in the slow mode and |
93 |
google doesn't like using fast mode because of my slow dial-up connection. |
