I will no longer be able to point to my home server on these lists because Cox rejects such messages as spam. The message given when I try is:
/********************************************************************** Sending failed: Could not write file The message content was not accepted. The server responded: "ID_INTENTIONALLY_REMOVED This message was undeliverable. This message has been found to be a potential spam message, and has therefore been blocked. Please visit http://coxagainstspam.cox.net for more information.". Disk full. The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder. The following transport protocol was used: smtp.east.cox.net **********************************************************************/ I could care less that their disk is stuffed and suspect it is misdirection. This censorship is only a minor inconvenience but the message it sends is ugly. It says, in so many words, that the internet is for your consumption not participation. Changing messages to point to my physics page gets around the immediate problem, but most people do not have such a thing nor should they be forced to host things on someone else's computers. I'm paying for my bandwith, why can't I use it for what I want? Finally, subscribers now know that every word of every message sent is filtered. Will they filter my IM conversations next? _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://mail.brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
