I keep asking everyone about the roundup etc and am told to sign up for it in my profile - I have done so and checked several times and as far as am concerned I've ticked yes - am still not getting it is it something I've done?!?

Hmm, that's not good dizzy. I doubt it's you being incompetent. We'll see what we can find out.

Although, by the way, we didn't have a newsletter this week, though MP's round up was sent out yesterday lunchtime, so if you're signed up for that you should have got it.

Hiya - just to say we'll look into this and try to find out what is going on. Sometimes servers like AOL block the newsletter for some reason, so that might be the issue.

Hotmail can be a total pita too, tbh. Anyhow, there wasn't a newsletter this week - but there was talk round up. Will ask tech to have a look here.

I think - although JJ might put me right on this - that we sometimes have an issue with servers actually rejecting emails full stop, so wouldn't end up in your Junk folder as wouldn't even get that far. Talk round up definitely went out last week though - so something is up. Have flagged but not sure what more we can do on this.

The business of the tkr_nnnnn is deliberate. It's so that if we get a "user no longer exists" or other bounce message we definitely know who to sign off. If we don't do that we can't reliably identify who were were sending to (because people alias their addresses, auto-forward etc.) It's called using a "variable envelope return path". There's a wikipedia article on it here if you are interested. if we don't identify bounces in a timely manner, then we start getting blocked by the like of aol, yahoo, hotmail and so on.
Wanderingtrolley, I just checked your talk roundup. We handed mail over to hotmail's servers at 12:37:19 on Friday for you. We can't trace it any further than that.
