Thanks to the quick response from our Mailing List host, all those who were unsubscribed have been reinstated. IF you were one of these unlucky people, I would HIGHLY recommend you find a new host for your email other than Microsoft as this is the THIRD time we have had this issue. ALSO, those who were affected may wish to visit our Mailing List Archives to view the emails you have missed at - https://list.cotyroneireland.com/empathy/list/cotyronelist.list.cotyroneireland.com Jim Jim McKane Kitchener, Ontario jamckane@gmail.com

Hi Jim, What a headache! A bit of overkill by MS, perhaps. I would think that they could make selected exemptions from their spam filter, but I suppose they get many, many requests for such exemption from disgruntled merchants and can't attend or comply with all requests. Checking authenticity of all requests would take so much unproductive time. Thank you for all your great work in looking after the website and the chat list. Having been a webweaver  in the early days of Rotary's presence on the internet, (early to mid 90s If I recall correctly) I can appreciate just how much time and effort you must be putting into managing this site. Well done!!! Thankfully I've got rid of all those, and similar, tasks and can enjoy retirement. Currently I'm writing a 50-year history of our local Rotary Club in a way that can go onto the club website, as well as become a nice glossy printed version for local libraries. Passes the time. Gordon ps Hope you miss the heavy snow-filled weather passing along your east coast. It's 28C here today. 😋 On 24/02/2026 3:56 am, James McKane via CoTyroneList wrote: > Thanks to the quick response from our Mailing List host, all those who > were unsubscribed have been reinstated. > > IF you were one of these unlucky people, I would HIGHLY recommend you > find a new host for your email other than Microsoft as this is the > THIRD time we have had this issue. > > ALSO, those who were affected may wish to visit our Mailing List > Archives to view the emails you have missed at - > > https://list.cotyroneireland.com/empathy/list/cotyronelist.list.cotyroneireland.com > > Jim > >
