[Nfbnet-members-list] Update on NFBnet and the Delivery of E-mail Lists

Subject: Update on NFBnet and the Delivery of E-mail Lists

Heading 1: Stay Informed and Engaged on NFBnet

The National Federation of the Blind is actively 
engaged in resolving issues with NFBnet, our 
longstanding communication and hosting platform. 
The system remains functional currently, and we 
continue to work diligently to improve it.

Heading 2: Mail Delivery Update

Microsoft did not deliver mail from NFBnet.org to 
its mail domains for much of July. This situation 
appears to be mostly resolved at this time. 
However, email providers such as Yahoo, AOL, 
Verizon, Bellsouth, and possibly others processed 
by Microsoft are still not consistently 
delivering NFBnet emails to subscribers. The 
error messages indicate that the blocks are 
temporary, but there is little information or guidance.

Once these blocks are removed, normal mail 
delivery should resume. Some of our members may 
not be getting mail from NFBnet.org lists. Please 
share this update with members via forwarding 
directly to members or at your next chapter meetings.

Heading 2: Email Features Resolved

Earlier this year, NFBnet experienced other 
errors such as subscribing to lists, unreadable 
formatting, and extraneous characters in 
messages. Most of these issues have been 
resolved. Our software provider is working to 
resolve remaining issues that are not related to 
the mail delivery issue. Please report any issues 
or bugs you continue to experience.

Heading 2: Report Issues

Heading 2: About NFBnet Mailing Lists

We are committed to maintaining strong, 
accessible communication channels that empower 
every member of our chapters, divisions, and 
affiliates to stay informed and engaged through 
our NFBnet Mailing Lists (also known as 
listservs). Email remains one of the most widely 
used and accessible communication 
tools­especially for ongoing, organized 
conversations. Our longstanding listservs serve a 
unique, valuable, and irreplaceable purpose in 
the grassroots movement. You can subscribe to one 
of the many NFBnet lists at nfbnet.org.
