GAF Web Site Problem
« on: August 19, 2008, 11:59:58 AM »
There is a problem with the forms used to send enlistments, awards, and feedback. Please don't use them until I have a chance to figure out what to do.

How will we know if the ones we sent ever made it? I sent in quite a few and have never heard a word about them.

Should I assume that none of them were successfully received?

For Awards and Enlistments please contact the officer in charge.

Hopefully General Scout will jump in here with the definative answer, but it was my understanding that we are to assume they WERE received and approved.

I would not assume anything. When something is submitted via a form on the GAF web site the information is emailed to me, US Scout, and the person responsible for handling the submission. It appears the Awards Officer and possibly the Enlistment Officer are not receiving their emails. I have examined and reexamined the programs that process submissions and can find no problems. When I receive my copy of one of the emails I see the other recipients email addresses and all appears correct.

 Late last night I uncovered some information that the domain hosting our site may be blacklisted by some Internet providers. When this occurs, emails from  blacklisted domains are not accepted by the receiving provider. Being blacklisted DOES NOT necessarily mean the domain has done anything wrong. It is frequently some kind of mix-up but can be difficult to resolve.

I am going to put in place a workaround that will let us proceed until a permanent solution can be found.

Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused but this has proven to be a difficult problem to resolve.
