Sorry to post this via the group again, but I am still unable to post to AOL, also verizon.net and frontier.net.

The technical guy at orpheus/appleshack assures me it's because they have set their spam filters too high and so legitimate messages posted to their customers are being rejected. The AOL website says it's because the sending IP address doesn't have reverse DNS but when I tested it with them it does have reverse DNS! All very technical but I think it means that the sending ISP can accept 'incoming calls' as well as outgoing messages, which some spam senders can't. A strong stance on junk mail is commendable, but not so good if it's rejecting bone fide messages.

Ruth Hickman has kindly agreed to forward messages for me, thank you Ruth. I do have email at work and until this is sorted I'll send any rejected messages to myself at work and try forwarding from there, but I (usually) only work Wednesdays and Fridays so if anyone using a problem ISP contacts me there could be a delay in sending any reply.

Cindy: you are included in the new round of Secret pals.
