" I got a bushel of spam from them, and, as a result, blocked their whole
" allocation.  If I'd ever sent mail to you directly, you'd be whitelisted, of

" 
" Thanks.  I'll fix it.

they also have me fixed so i can't send directly but have to relay
through them.  this wasn't true on my old dialup static ip.  otoh
that's not all bad; i got myself blacklisted about '99 or '00 and
despite tightening my system up never could summon the mojo to banish
the cloud.
