You might ask your > ISP if you're having mail trouble. i am not an automated script! if you bounce more than ~20 msgs in one 24hr period i will remove you from the lists (unless there are significant mitigatting cirmcumstances.) the best way to protect yourself from being removed from the lists is to acquire one or more MX records for your mail computer. offer to provide MX services for others and request that someone do the same for you. freebsd-isp or freebsd-chat are good lists for these offers/requests. jmb ps. well, sometimes my family thinks that i am an automated script ;| either that or an automated teller machine, i cant tell which. ;)
