The cooker list itself seems to be sick right now, so I'm not sure when this will get through. But I thought I'd pass on what I've learned: I managed to translate the important items on the form (http://win.mail.ru/cgi-bin/support) linked to by the explanatory page (bounce message, like in your original note). Between machine translation (very acceptably good, at http://www.translate.ru/) and looking at the HTML, I go this: The first field is your name and surname, the second is a working e-mail address (probably best for it to be the one you sent from). The pull-down list is the subject of your problem (it's apparently a form to open an ISP support ticket). Select the one right before the line which contains "WAP". That opens a window (apparently a FAQ). Unfortunately, the annoying JavaScript opens the popup *again* when the list loses input focus, too. Grrr. Next is the e-mail address you're having problems with (Andrey's), username + trailing bit in the pulldown. The large text field is your message. A cleaned-up translation of the parenthetical text: "(if this concerns problems with a @mail.ru, @bk.ru, @inbox.ru or @list.ru mailbox, you will need to specify your recipient's name as well as your own e-mail address at which we can communicate with you)". Needless to say, I wrote my message in English. Finally, there are two buttons with a checkbox in between. Checking the box will give you a copy of the trouble ticket. The first button is the submit button. Be careful with the second one, since it's an HTML reset button and will *clear* the form... Hopefully this helps, whenever the cooker list is alive again. - John P.S. Since I'm resending this message, I have some good news to add. After filling in the form, as outlined above, I received a reply from one of their people that my ISP had been de-blacklisted at my request. I just sent an e-mail that included Andrey in the addresses and haven't received a bounce-back, so it looks like things work...
