=============

I'm sorry, but your SPAM filter is too tight.
Here's why
-I use the name MikeM.  Maybe it might be better if I used Mike M, but
for now I do not.
-I use Calypso email software because it is 2000% better than Outlook
Distress for my needs.  It is rock solid, and free of security
problems.  Yes, it has a mailing list facility, but I do not use it.
-My relay is the Postfix server running in my basement.   

Regardless of all that, it does not explain why I had been able to post
and receive messages from this list prior to "the incident".
