What about setting up a mail server somewhere else and using that? -----Original Message----- From: will hill To: [email protected] Sent: 6/13/03 4:38 PM Subject: Re: [brlug-general] Speaking of mail....
It's not sendmail. Some ISPs now block mail from DSL boxes like yourself: http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/03/04/13/2215207.shtml?tid=120 I wanted to set up a mail server for the CCCC, but now it seems pointless. Last week, Russ told me that he wanted such a thing because they have about 1,000 members they message once a month. Cox has a 100 mail cap, so they have to cut up their mail list and they hate that. Looks like they are either going to keep hating it or get some "special" arrangements so that they can be one of the privileged few allowed to broadcast. The only way to make the internet usable is to keep it open. I wrote Cox and told them their efforts were futile and harmful, but did not hear anything back. I submitted a story to Slashdot too. We shall see what happens. Chances are the noose will continue to tighten and the internet will go the way of broadcast radio and TV.
