Your membership to the TeradataForum may have been deleted because your mail is bouncing with errors. More commonly, you may not be receiving posts because your employer is filtering your mail. Unfortunately, given the way things work in the Internet world, you may or may not be notified of your removal. If you should find yourself removed, please don't hesitate to Join again.

If you have been removed by the List Administrator, you will receive a note outlining the reason for your removal. If removed for violating the Rules of Conduct, then your removal is permanent.

If your employer is blocking TeradataForum mail, you may have to use another e-mail provider to contact us.
