Hi Jim,

The Piclist itself has never been down for more than a few hours for as
long as I have been paying attention. So it is pretty safe to assume the
Piclist is up and running.

The best way to tell if the Piclist is up and running is to visit
piclist.com and look at the "archive" and then click "today" and see if
there are messages. That assumes piclist.com is up and running. Hi
James, thanks for getting the archive running again :)

After doing that, you can easily compare those messages to the messages
you have received. That will show you how many messages the Piclist mail
system has failed to deliver to you. Such failures are usually due to
your ISP timing out or rejecting messages thinking they are spam.

Consider getting a mail account with one of the big "free" providers for
your Piclist mail. They usually have no problem receiving Piclist
emails.

Friendly regards,

Bob
