Hmmm...didn't think of that. Because of course, they already had my email address. But I flagged the email to show my son, who's more savvy than I, just in case it was someone hacking into my computer or something of that nature (I don't sound paranoid do I?) LOL Sally

Hi gang, Well, the nefarious SPAM Nazis John R. has been going on about have, in fact, been messing with things at Eskimo! A couple of the RBL's (Realtime Blackhole Lists) that Rober has been using to block SPAM into Eskimo, went dormant, causing Eskimo servers to take too long to reply to requests to send mail, causing the sending servers to give up. The net effect was a lot of mail getting blocked on its way in. Those RBL's have been taken off the list so mail appears to be flowing normally again, except for some stuff going on at AOL. Apparently they put Eskimo on a spam fi! lter list, for no good reason as far as we anybody at Eskimo can tell, and they don't bother to actually follow any of the standard protocols for notifying the "offending" ISP's, leaving it to users and sysadmins to discover that AOL has had a snit. That situation is *slowly* being resolved, since when Robert from Eskimo called them, all of *thier* customer service computers were down!! It's been real. I hope things settle down soon.
