        Earlier today Eric Caron responded to My Query about List Activity & sent it to "vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM" in Addition to the rest of the 

"Listers" that I had sent the Query to ~ Erics EM got through Via the ListServe ~ As a test, I just replied to Erics EM & it also got through Via the 

ListServe ~ Thought this might help in figuring it out ~

                                                                                        ORR ~ DeanB

Tom found that there was a compromise sending massive quantities of mail to qq.com addresses. He patched that up and messages appeared to flow again.

Because of the gmail problem, I was/am blind to any messages from gerry with status information.  I simply do not receive and admin mail.  I logged onto the administrative interface and attempted to reroute the admin mail to another account and simply ended up locking myself out of the admin interface.  At this point in time, all I can do is restart the gerry server.  I cannot access anything else.  I can get to gerry. I cannot get to the listserv software.

If Gerry is working, you will get an output message. If you get dead silence, then bring to the attention of List Admin Jim Arnott or one of the Mods - David Beierl or BenT. No reply to my query so Gerry appears be be asleep.
