That's one possibility, but the two mails I cced to you have bounced back
with

<dalek1967@bellsouth.net>: host gateway-f1.isp.att.net[204.127.217.16]
refused to talk to me: 550-<my-ip-address> blocked by
ldapu=rblmx,dc=bellsouth,dc=net 550 Blocked for abuse.

I'm not running an open relay or involved in any other kind of abuse, so
this would appear to be a problem at their end.

Well, Dale has requested such feed back (bounced mail headers) at
the forums [1]. I believe he reads the list via http archives, so he
should see your message and hopefully it'll be of help.

Neil, you'd better check if your IP address is not in some of the
popular public grey/black lists [2]. Sometimes it happens even if you
had nothing to do with abusing activities...false positives.

Good point, but I'd checked these two and I'm not listed.

as division.

Hi,

I emailed this list quite a while ago about not getting emails from the
list or any other Gentoo list. I wrote the very VERY slow to respond
AT&T crew about unblocking the emails. This was on about May 16 or so.
Well, a little while ago I got my first set of emails. Whoooooooo
Ooooooooooo. I have so missed getting my emails and keeping up with
where Gentoo is going and what issues have cropped up with updates.


Now, I am just hoping to get this email back and confirm that all is
working again. Oh, filed a complaint with the FCC about not having DSL
too. Sort of putting a fire under AT&T. ;-) 24K dial-up sucks, BIG
time. Picture downloading OOo, VERRRRRRRYYYYY
ssssslllllloooooowwwwwllllllyyyyyy. :-D


Glad to be back.

Dale

:-) :-)

Yep, that was what they was telling me. Sort of letting the FCC get the
info from now on. See what story they get. They did install the DSL
box up the road tho. They are doing something, just not sure what that
something is exactly.


At least they got my emails coming in again. LOL

I've one word of advice for you: gmane

http://gmane.org/about.php

IMO, gmane is really the only civilized way to read mailing
lists. Pointing a good newsreader (I like slrn) at
news.gmane.org allows one to follow mailing lists with far less
effort/hassle -- and you never have to worry about mailboxes
filling up.

You also ought to switch to an ISP that doesn't suck, but
that's a different issue.

Well, since I am on dial-up, I prefer to read most of my stuff offline.
It's easier for me at least. I did try to mess with gmane but never
could figure out how to make it work. Sort of gave up on it.


Right now, I'm planning to switch ISPs if DSL doesn't come soon. I'm
paying ~$24.00 for dial-up but DSL would be only ~$20.00 and DSL is
faster. Go figure out how backward that is. I mentioned that to the
FCC too.
