(Please send all replies > to spectretouch@earthlink.net) Earthlink is a known spam site, and lots of people, including FreeBSD, have got so fed up with it that they have blocked it. I'd recommend another provider. Unfortunately, hotmail is not a good choice either. Most of the mail I have had from hotmail has been spam, so I have blocked that address. I'm sorry if this inconveniences you. You should either complain to your provider and get them to stop spamming (hah!) or get a reputable provider. Things will look better in the future. sendmail 8.9 provides for exceptions in the blocking. If anybody gets blocked by my mailer (freebie.lemis.com or allegro.lemis.com), please contact me from another provider and I'll make an exception for you.
