The changes in UCSD's email systems have caused a number of problems.

I manage the XMCA mailing list.  I was  having problems with email sent 
to the management address, xmca-l-owner@ucsd.edu.

What I eventually discovered, only last Friday, is that the filters I'd 
set up inside my email client, Thunderbird for Mac, where the culprit. 
Something in the changes at UCSD had some, but not all of the incoming 
XMCA mail getting labeled as spam, which meant that T-Bird was dumping them.

I removed all the filters, and unchecked the box that told T-Bird to 
believe the SpamAssassin header and the mail is now flowing properly again.

If some of you are seeing all the mail, and others are not, then those 
that aren't might begin by working with local spam filtering if possible.

I will send some mail to the campus mail managers to see if they can 
poke at their own filtering and figure out why the mail is getting 
flagged as spam.

And if you send messages to me at bjones@ucsd.edu and they bounce, or 
you don't see a response, feel free to send to my gmail address: 
sugagaki@gmail.com

Please note that I will be gone all day tomorrow, Monday, April 13.
