Hey Jason,

For some reason every time I send in an email I get an auto response to the list but it never shows up. I've gone in in played with my settings to no avail. Any thoughts on who I should contact about fixing this?

Thanks,

Matt

Even in the outside shower where it is under continually wet conditions for a good part of the year.
