That title is meant to be warbled to the tune Who Knows Where the Time Goes? ... fortunately, email isn’t as flitting and fleeting as time. I am saddened to report that I am still having problems with the eddress associated with this domain.

As some of you seven regular readers cautioned, apparently I was incorrectly attributing the problem to the server at which we were previously hosted. That said, our new home is (at least so far as I understand these things, which isn’t all that far) better equipped for this place’s needs. And the last few incidents of email gone astray that I have become aware of haven’t involved hinky email clients on my machine ... so that’s ruled out as the eater of email. In fact, the problem has spanned two machines running different OSes in the past month.

So what is it, then? Why is email I send not getting to its intended recipient? Why am I not receiving email from people who have attempted to send to me? In my case, I receive confirmation that the mail has been sent; and in the case of others, they are seasoned netizens who are extremely unlikely to repeatedly make noobish misnakes.

Are these problems somehow related to the fuss a while back about different providers/carriers not wanting to play nicely with each other any more? At this point that’s really the only idea I’ve come up with that makes any kind of sense. Or is this domain blacklisted someplace, and that causes some emails to get dumped rather than delivered? (But the problem seems intermittent, and so unlikely to be something like that. I think.) My email isn’t yet at the successful delivery rates the USSA post awful has, but it’s slumping toward that point ... and as a pretty early netizen, I freely admit to becoming used to nearly 100% success rates, with quick feedback when an email wasn’t delivered for some reason.

I am totally mystified, and immensely frustrated. I greatly dislike requesting return receipts when I send out email, but at this point I don’t know what else to do ... Sigh. Until further notice, please switch to my gmail eddress, “sunni.snake”; I will check it regularly, but suspect y’all know better than to expect quick turnarounds from me. Sigh again ...
