Great to hear from you. Are you/someone else doing "helo filtering" for this list as well? I had a *hell* lot of time for delivering last mail for 2-3 days till a friend gave me smtp access to his company's server.

My ISP which is *EXCELLENT* does not provide smtp access. So, just for mailing clients of srs I have to change my ISP??? Be Indian. I have though of a few solutions to this "helo filtering" (TM) problem, <kidding> - employ srs in my company as a "junior" sys. adm. Hey, you don't expect me to employ a person who does not like qmail as senior sys. adm. - take over srs company and make him stop that practice (sic). But this would take time. - complain to President (Dr. Kalam) to force srs and cronies to stop the practice. But the president and me are not on good terms these days due to our opinion difference for producing long-range missiles. - kill his CTO and implicate srs in the murder and make him go on run. I would hate it because srs is kinda cute and will not look good with beard and long hair. As I said before srs the ball is in your court. You may stop the "helo filtering" practice or chose any from the above. Anyone on the list wanting to apply "helo filtering" practice may also have to face my fury. </kidding> Thanks for the help and if you have any spam please send it to srs. He loves it.
