MINIsOnTop Mailing List

As you hopefully know, we maintain a mailing list at MINIsOnTop, used rarely for announcements (such as registration open, major sponsors, the final charity funds raised).
This mailing list is OPT-IN ONLY, and requires confirmation via a link sent to the subscribing email address; additionally messages can only be sent via a password protected web page (not via re-distributing received emails) - as such, it is not possible for spammers to sign you up, or send spam to you via the mailing list.


Recently we moved the MINIsOnTop website to new hosting, and switched to a different mailing list server (Dada Mail) - you can now subscribe/un-subscribe easily.
Please remember to subscribe your new address and un-subscribe your old address, when you switch email services.


We are receiving a number of reports from ATT.net, saying “reason: 553 5.3.0 flpi194 - m671X3mP027569, DNSBL:521< 206.130.104.184 >_is_blocked” - it appears that these are from customers with email addresses that are/were part of AT&T and perhaps are no longer valid, domains like sbcglobal.net, snet.net … all these email addresses have been removed!


To minimize headaches and reduce the chance of being blamed for spam, we will remove all problem email addresses - please be sure you are subscribed with your current email address, if you wish to receive announcements (you can always re-subscribe to the mailing list, you’ll get an “already subscribed” email if you’re in the list, or a “confirm subscription” email if you are not.
Also, if you use any sort of “challenge” service, be sure that subscribers@MINIsOnTop.com is allowed, or you will not receive any announcements!

New MINIsOnTop website format

I’m moving MINIsOnTop over to run under WordPress - it’ll be much easier to update and it’ll be possible for more than just me to do the updating (for example I hope that the people looking after the charity & donations aspects of MINIsOnTop will be able to post their own regular updates!)
