Problems receiving mail from distribution lists

If you don't receive mail from email distribution lists when others do, verify with the list owner that your name is included correctly on the distribution list. Also, if you have enabled a mail forwarding rule on your accounts, check that you've done so correctly.

Additionally, if you use a mail filter on your account (for example, MH slocal or procmail) and you haven't specified it in your .forward file, you may not receive mail from a distribution list. Because mail can be lost during the filtering process, UITS does not recommend using a filter program.

If you are subscribed to an IU List mailing list and you are not receiving postings, check your settings in the IU List web interface. See Subscription options available on IU List and Suspend delivery for an IU List mailing list.
