Hi Andrew,
I think perhaps what is happening with many of these empty emails is
that they are being sent as HTML formatted text. The HTML content is
appended to an otherwise empty email as an attachment, and this
attachment is stripped by the mail server in accordance with list
policy item (4) which states that no attachments are to be sent to
the list:
http://lists.vicnet.net.au/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus
It is possible to configure hotmail and other email clients to send
plain-text email as detailed on the following webpage:
http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
for hotmail specific instructions see:
http://www.expita.com/nomime.html#hotmail
The page linked above also has a reasonably detailed explaination of
the rationale for stripping attachments from list email.
cheers
Paul
