[Sundaycommunity] Email changes for Sunday community. issues tentatively fixed

[Arthur Blomme]

Hi Sunday Community

I have managed this email list for close to  15 years now.   When Yahoo 
groups closed down their operations  I created the list server 
integralshift.ca. Like google I offer my list server for free except I 
don't exploit the personal data of participants. With Google groups and 
with gmail accounts your email is automatically scanned and mined for 
syntactic and semantic structures that are stored in googles massive 
privately owned databases.  This meta information is  used to build 
profiles of each user and includes attitudinal preferences like your 
convincer strategies that can be determined by your grammatical 
preferences.  These profiles are increasingly used to present you with 
information specific to you that  will push your emotional buttons and 
there by control your behaviour.  This hypnotic fuzzy logic can only be 
countered by reason and evidence based dialogue.  As a long time 
practitioner of  the Art and Science of Neuro Linguistic Programming I 
have watched this  behaviourist technology grow.  In the battle between 
fuzzy logic and reason I have chosen reason and human growth. At the 
same time I am aware about how these technologies can be used to control 
and enslave our minds.

When we were first locked down from having our regular Sunday 
liturgies,  I recognized the importance of continuing our community in a 
virtual environment. I initiated and continue to use my personal 
resources to maintain the zoom liturgies. *The one thing that I have 
insisted on with the services I provide is freedom of expression and 
respectful debate of differences.*  Democracy cannot exist without 
freedom of expression.  Having freedom of expression can get messy but 
we are far better off than in the censored world of 1984 where "/War is 
peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength./" ~ George Orwell

 1. I have been making some tweaks to the list server software to
    resolve some of the administrative problems.  I believe that the
    undesirable format of the list messages has now been fixed.  You may
    want to repost messages that appeared in the .eml format
 2. A second problem I was dealing with was a problem with cross posting
    .  When an email message is posted to several lists it creates a
    problem for list moderators when individuals from other lists try to
    post to the Sunday Community list.  to avoid this I have limited the
    number of correspondents  that can appear in the To field of the
    email.   To avoid having your email deferred to the moderator do not
    cross post your message.
 3. Also the list server does not like you to include corespondents in
    the BCC field.  If you do so ,  you or the administrators will get
    ‘implicit destination’ message.
 4. The original problem I was trying to fix  are munging errors
    received from Bell based email servers.  I may have corrected this
    problem but only through further error messages can we tell.
 5. Finally to avoid sending duplicate messages to the Sunday Community
    only send to one address. sundaycommunity at integralshift.ca is
    synonymous with sundaycommunity at lists.integralshift.ca. Pick either
    address but not both.

I am sorry for any inconvenience these rules create.  i will continue to 
try and resolve problems that arise with the list. Unfortunately 
documentation is very limited for the software and we have to proceed 
with trial and error.
