Joan, nope, it's quite different situtation. I was never unsubbed during that time. I was able to receive every post (already reviewed archives), just that outgoing side that was a problem temporarily. If there were any during that time, they were bounced right back as undeliverable. It was only one message and that prompted me to send a message direct to you, alerting to the problem and you had to get into your AOL spam folder to rescue my messages at least twice. the Question about Discard and Hold was well after the problem with outgoing was resolved. I didn't send any to listowners-admin the whole time. That is why I asked if Discard was the default after you mentioned it and I was criticized for asking this question despite the fact I never knew about this feature before and every one of 21 lists I have has that setting to "Discard" since I know I did not change that setting myself at all.
