So you're saying that if I logged on prior to August 4, I would have found the Accept/Block settings in the same spot where they are now, with the same contents as what I'm seeing now, but they only affected the mail processing while I was logged on. Is that right? I thought I was reasonably familiar with the webmail settings, and these Accept/Block settings simply were not there a month ago. -----Original Message----- From: Leo Sell [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 5:49 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Question about mail.msu.edu block lists At 5:12 PM -0400 8/19/10, Chris Wolf wrote: >Can you explain this a little more thoroughly?

But the Accept/Block lists were only operative when logged in to mail.msu.edu aka webmail. The lists existed but did not have an effect when checking via a mail client. And service sponsors decided not to try and bifurcate the data by age. All existing data in the lists, regardless of how long ago it may have been added to the list, was migrated. /L -- Leo Sell ATS Help Desk Michigan State University 517-432-6200 help.msu.edu
