But I don't think there's anything to subscribe to anymore - didn't this forum take over from the newsletter?

Well there is still a "subscribe" button on the newsletter pages and the front page, so in that case the site must be out of date Tsk! tsk! Naughty Paolo. :lol:

In any event the autogenerated emailss shouldn't be getting caught in a spam trap - If what you are saying is correct Kathy then they should be getting a response saying that the newsletter is no more.

There has not been a newsletter for quite a long time but it is not actually killed off. The forum has pretty much taken over.

If your emails are bouncing it is because the mail server you are using has been used to send spam (not by you but by someone) and is being blocked. I don't know the solution to this, unless you use a different email address.
