I can actually answer that one, because it happened to me. :-) The key is you just suddenly realize they've gone AWOL. I noticed that I'd stopped receiving those e-mails, so I went to my friend that owns lerctr.org, and we determined that many of the IP addresses within IBM are on spam blacklists, and Exim (his MTA) was rejecting them. So I added *.ibm.com to my whitelist. So instead of doing something about the spam blacklists, the mail admins at IBM think it is easier to put that tag line in the e-mails. And the irony of that statement did not escape me when I read it in the first e-mail I received after my whitelist change.

I had no clue. Please spell out acronyms if there is a doubt that they are universally recognizable. If there had been doubt, I would have spelled it out. PS: this reminds me of the message that comes with the US IBM update. It tells you, that if you're not receiving their e-mails, then ask your e-mail admin to unblock the sending address. If I'm not receiving, how would I know it's blocked? If I'm receiving, why tell me how to unblock it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
