No 47
November 3, 2001
Hi
friends,
I am sorry
that my little note advising the arrival of a new issue of ModelFlight
was late for
#46. As soon as I realised that no one had received the reminder 48 hours after it had
been sent, I queried with my ISP, Freeserve, if there was some form of 'sorting' process
which delayed comparatively large group mailings, as normal e-mails were still
being processed virtually instantaneously. Their reply revealed that, as part of
their anti-spamming measures, their e-mail software places a limit of just eight
e-mails to a group (of which I was totally unaware!) - my mailing consisted of six group mailings greatly in
excess of that figure. What puzzles me, though, is that despite this ruling, the majority of my group
mailings have succeeded in the past and, when there has been a delay, they have
eventually gone through sometime on the third day after mailing.
All the
same, it looked as though the #46 mailing had definitely failed, so I set
to and broke my mailing list down to groups of eight and sent them all out
again. For the time being at least, this seems to be the only way I
can now send my large mailing out, unless anybody knows of some neat software
that will automatically work itself down my mailing list and send the reminder
out to each e-mail address in turn. Freeserve invited me to make contact with
them if I needed any further help or advice, so I have asked them if there is
any other way to successfully send a large mailing out, but so far I have
received no reply.
It's some
time now since we had any news of Chris Hardie's Blohm und Voss MB141B, but he
has got going again on this intriguing plane as reported on work
in progress.
This is a
very special weekend for Gary Clemans-Gibbon - see the hotchpotch
page.
Regards to all,

This beautiful model float
plane is Jan Roestorf's Bernardt, nicely captured by Peter
Morey. Jan's club, Irene Radio Fliers of Pretoria, South Africa, is
featured on club scene. See photo
