This is all fine and dandy, but not all of us are in a position to run our
own servers.
Also, I've never received any "blocked" messages from any other email group
that
I've registered.

Whoah, back off! I, for one, am very thankful for the service you've
provided us.
But this group is more than just the provider. It would be a common courtesy
to
let the rest of the group know when you decide to make a major change in the
support policies. There may be others (and there are) who have equally
valid
viewpoints.
>3. DONT bitch about any spam that makes it onto this list. I tried.

I won't. I haven't seen any spam on this list or the Caldera list - maybe
once
in two years. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the bix X button
on your
mailer is a wonderful tool. It takes much less time to push the button than
to
gripe about it.
Now I'll get bitchy.

1. You provided no warning for this unilateral action. Nobody has a clue
when they get a "return address denied by mail service" message. I tried
unsubscribing and resubscribing, but that did no good. The icing on the
cake was when you also denied any mail to your own mail address, so that
no one could even find out what had happened. Not a good approach (tm)
for a service provider. Finally, Mike Andrew let me know what you were up
to.
2. Ironically, I was able to open this account with a M$ provider to gain
service once again!
3. You say, "fine, no more orbl," but my original account is still blocked
by
your server.

Thanks,Collins
