The issue, to me, started with M/S telling me that I can't use a
work or school email address for an account (this was over a year
ago). WKYR.NET is a private email domain that I own. WKYR, should
it exist again, would be a radio/TV station probably using .com
or .org.
And then, as has been said, I've been blocked here and there for
maybe a day or two and then things work again. I had to run
things down with Marist for a group and it was an error in their
system after maint.
The paranoia in me asks if this is an attempt to control all
emails. Look, just because I am paranoid does not mean they are
not out to get me. ;-)

Let's see if this gets through.
I THINK my posts are making it (seems like one did earlier this
week), and this being a GMail identity, that would make sense.
Phil, you're trying to use a custom address. That is to say,
you're using a personal domain.
I observe that such are increasingly challenged. I don't have a
solution, but I'm chasing a couple of remedies. Maybe we can
connect. Maybe we can achieve critical mass?
It's all about trust.
The major email providers don't "trust" akphs.com.
I find that one of my personal domains cannot send to my wife's
mailbox at Yahoo!. This is a real problem for us and gonna get
worse.
All email which is outsourced to Googoo gets through.
(sometimes to the spam folder) But Yahoo! slams the door
*hard* and won't accept email sent from a residential IP address.
Googoo is reasonable about *accepting* traffic too. (again,
sometimes to quarantine) I have not tried (e.g.) AOL or
Hotmail. I did try a former employer's email service and got
rejected.
Two things I have in place which supposedly would help: SPF
record and DKIM key. These are both in the DNS.
The home IP address being in the SPF record should be enough
for Yahoo! to accept it. Doesn't work.
The DKIM key and the signature on the traffic should confirm
that any given message is authentic. Doesn't help.
Then too, some are starting to use "DNS SEC". (And some are
not, even many luminaries. DNSSEC is a pain in all cases and
impractical for most.)
But I don't know if Yahoo! is flagging things based on DNSSEC
or lack of.
Anyone else having troubles, let's circle-up off-list and see
what we can figure out.

Starting about a week ago, I noticed that posts sent from my
lists@akphs address weren't showing up in the archives. Email
to mailto:lists...@listserv.ua.edu with QUERY IBM-MAIN got no
response; same from my work address got the expected "not
subscribed" message. Yet my daily digest to that address has
continued.
I tried repeatedly, and finally asked Darren, who kindly
looked but didn't see anything amiss.
Today when I tried to respond to Radislav's question about
FTP, same thing: no post. So I subscribed this address as
well. That worked, and I've been able to post (obviously). But
I also noticed a couple of folks asking where the list had
gone lately, which could just be chance (and isn't quite what
I'm seeing, either, obviously). I looked at the archives and
traffic seems to maybe be down over the last 8 days or so,
though it wasn't so active before that I can be sure (see
bottom of this note).
I suddenly realized that if others were having similar issues,
that might not be obvious beyond the reduced traffic--it's not
like they'll be able to post to ask, eh?
So: If you're having troubles similar to mine, send a note to
ibm-m...@akphs.com and let me know. I'm asking you to use that
address because it will make it easier for me to
filter/collate responses.
