Ed,
one thing is clear: The Cermaktech server uses SpamAssassin which let your
messages through, we would not have seen them otherwise.
Have you ever talked to your own ISP then, they might have an option to
whitelist the TSGL IP-addresses (ask TSGL for their addresses for ns1, ns2,
etc. ... like e.g. 129.82.47.126 etc.). Beyond that, I have no clues ...

Tilman -
It's encouraging to know that you saw the post.
I didn't! Now, that tells me that my incoming mail from the list, has
failed. What a riddle!

ED,
I got both versions of your message here, so it has arrived at the list
too, and certainly was seen by other members. I really hope that any of them
has better ideas than I had....
As to the role the list server may play, I really wonder what could be
wrong there - since the listowner is an IT pro, one with a degree, if I
remember this correctly.
Regards
Tilman

Hi Tilman -
Thanks for lending me a shoulder:) I'm replying to your post, using my
current subscription email address, and am copying you (because the
correspondence to the list from OE has not been working, and at least
you
will see the response).
Come to think of it, the problems started when the new server was
installed,
if that could be a reason.
I could have written this note using the Gmail interface, and it
probably
would get posted, as did the original.
This is being sent this way, following your suggestion to wear down
the
server, though I don't think that it has that type of feeling.
I use Panda anti-virus and Firewall, but have no restrictions that
would
possibly cause the riddle.
I had been working with Mike Cermack, and I suggested putting the
'thing'
before the 'list' for the outside help. If this does not make it as a
post,
feel free to post any part of it.
Thinks again.
ED
