2. Re: Topica stop sending mail from 02-Dec?
I received email from topica only until 29 Nov. I tried to unsubscribe
and subscribe to it again but I still don't receive any mail.
I suggested Rob to move the mailing list to yahoogroups. It is much more
reliable. It will also promote Euphoria via the yahoogroups directory.
We will be able to create polls and create online databases easily.
Browsable and threaded message archives. Many people have Yahoo ID so
they don't need to maintain an account at topica.
Yahoogroups will append a one or two-line advertisement at the end of
email message. That's the only drawback I found.
We can still have the web interface for EUforum, euphoria search on message
archives, etc.
How do you think? Will we be better off by moving to the yahoogroups?
Topica really sucks.

Why does one have to deal with Topicana or Yahoo at all. I just use Euforum
directly
http://www.listfilter.com/EUforum/
without any problems at all over the last five years.

OK, just now I received all 52 mails from topica that I didn't receive,
all in incorrect order because topica modified the mail date.
I am using pop3 mail and I have near 100,000 emails in my harddisk.
I often use the search feature to find existing mails quickly. I know how many
mails I sent and receive everyday.
That's why I still like the email way.

Same reason like AKU ; I use my local stored mails like a knowledge database.

I don't think I'd be the only one in trouble getting 30 messages a day from
someone on a computer I don't own. EYforum would be spammed out fast I believe.
Rob, do you plan to have a topica-like message digest emailing feature?

No I don't.
As you suggest, it would probably lead to an increase of spam
sent to listfilter.com. It might also cause listfilter.com to be
placed on a spam blacklist. It would also require me to fix
things whenever there was a real or imagined problem with
the e-mail feed.
RSS is the best way for people to receive messages from EUforum.
Eventually, all major e-mail clients will support RSS.
It works great for me using Thunderbird.
If you want to accumulate messages for your own private
searches, you can use RSS for that. RSS messages are accumulated
in your e-mail client, just like normal messages.
You can also download any months you want from the
full message archive. See:

Then what is the whole point of sending the post from
EUform to Topica ? Why not eliminate Topica ? That
will remove a lot of spam from everybody's in-box because everyone's
email address is being posted on Topica whether a user is
signed up to receive Topica email or not.

Apparently a few hundred people are receiving EUforum
via Topica. Most people are still using things like Outlook Express
which do not support RSS. I may drop support for Topica
eventually, but I don't see it happening in the near future.

I don't know exactly where the spammers get their addresses,
but I know that most of the spam I personally receive is not
sent to rds at RapidEuphoria.com (my Topica address). It's sent to
some bogus address at RapidEuphoria.com, or it's sent to my addr.com
address (which I never use) which is the registered address
for RapidEuphoria.com as published somewhere on the Internet.

One of the few hundred people is me. Although I'm not using outlook express
but my mail client doesn't support RSS.
And some people don't want to change their mail client that they have
been using for years to other ones that support RSS.

Topica does not display email addresses on their interface. RDS does though and
I wish it wouldn't. Even the dumbest spam bots can figure out that 'someone at
somewhere dot com' is an email address.
