Hi Friends There has been some problem with the hotmail addresses. Our server is not able to deliver the messages to hotmail servers.
Gabe is trying to fix it, but it seems there is some problem at the microsoft end, who supports hotmail If there is any update on this I will pass it on Thanks Giju ----- Original Message ----- From: Gabe Helou To: <list-owners> Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2002 12:35 AM Subject: Re: Hotmail > >>>----------- Yet another message from North Star Technical Services ---+-- > > One of the list-owners signed up for a Hotmail account.
