[comp.dcom.telecom] Autoreply Back In Service

telecom@eecs.nwu.edu (TELECOM Moderator) (03/01/90)

For about two weeks more or less, the autoreply message was not going
out to people writing to the Digest. The software was broken. It is
now back in order, and autoreplies will again be sent in most
instances.

The purpose of the autoreply is to let you know your submission has
arrived here safely, on the date and at the time indicated on the
receipt.  There are still a few bugs in it which prevent it from being
issued to some readers; and the 'iffy' nature of mail itself sometimes
causes the autoreply message to bounce back to me despite the sender's
good address.

But about 95% of you should get this automatic response each time you
write to telecom@eecs.nwu.edu or one of our forwarding addresses from
other networks and sites, etc.

(PS: Due to the work I had to do on this problem tonight, I was
delayed in getting the rest of the article on Rich Andrews, et al
finished.  I will try to have it in a Digest on Friday -- maybe even
late Thursday.)
