[Mailman-Users] Missing password reminders

[Allan Hansen]

I increased the logging level of the SMTP service and requested reminders for
a couple of people that complained that they didn't get them. The logs
shows that
the messages are sent. I ask them then to let me know if they receive these
messages.
I guess that if they don't, they need to complain to their respective
service providers.
If they do, I'll see what happens next month when the big batch is sent out.

Thank you for your (apparently) tireless presence,

	Allan
