If you aren’t receiving messages from the listserv, it may be that your local domain is blocking listserv messages as spam/junk. Spam detection heuristics used by higher education are often very sensitive to messaging sent to large distribution lists and automatically assume that the message is unwanted. You may have to request that your network personnel ensure that messages from the @listserv.cccnext.net domain are ‘white listed’ for distribution within your domain.
You may similarly find success in receiving the listserv’s messages by adding the @listserv.cccnext.net domain as an ‘approved sender’ in your local email client (if possible) as well as ensuring that CAIR@listserv.cccnext.net is listed as an approved contact in your contact list.
