[Dixonary] OT: Problems with Email from the Group

[Guerri Stevens]

In the hope that one of you who use a Gmail account may be able to shed
some light on this:

Here is the problem: I have messages from the group delivered to a
special Gmail account. On that accout I have a filter that says "if the
mail is not from a specific address, forward it to a different account
then delete it". This was working fine on all messages from the group up
through Wayne's message dated 12/3 at 6:51 p.m. From that point on,
messages have been properly delivered by the group (at least as far as I
know), they are properly identified by the filter, then they are
deleted. They don't arrive in the other account. Now this may be because
they are not forwarded or it may be for some other reason, such as being
rejected by the receiving account. I don't see any error messages,
though. And I have not changed the filter itself.

To ensure that the problem was not restricted to messages from the
Dixonary group, I sent a message using a Yahoo account. Same problem -
it ends up in the trash, but not in the account to which it should have
been forwarded.

I have posted a message in the Gmail discussion group. Beyond that, I
have no idea what to try.

For the immediate future I will probably play by going directly into the
group.

GuerriIt turns out that I am not the only one having this problem. There
are several messages in the discussion group about it. Plus a complaint
that there is no way to directly notify the Google staff that there is a
problem. Sigh!
