I decided to unsubscribe from an email-list I wasn't involved in any
more, and this is the sort of error message I kept getting:

It seems to be a Paradise.net.nz problem - somehow Paradise.net.nz
has got itself onto someone's DNSBL.
But that's nothing compared with the fun and games I've had with
Paypal.com trying to get an account set up so I can indulge my
interest in Renaissance and Baroque lute music. What can one say
about an international service firm to which I have never belonged,
coolly informing me that my account, my non-existent account, is
permanently locked at $0.00, and then locking me out of asking Paypal
what the dickens they think they are doing? How can I be locked out
of an account if I have never set one up in the first place, if I
have only ever used Paypal twice in the manner of a dumb terminal - I
went to the seller's item-specific Paypal invoice page, entered the
details, and said well-done, goodbye, receiving the items in good time.
I can only think of a few reasons why this sort of shenanigan might
occur, and some of the reasons are not in Paypal's favour - one being
that someone in the past has used my email address with Paypal to
commit fraud. Paypal, if that was the case, would be seen to have
lacked due diligence, because at not stage were they ever lacking the
skills to compare an alleged email address with its actual origin -
heck, if I can scan email headers, then if they haven't it's because
they choose not to; and that in a case of alleged fraud, is not
likely to be in their favour.
Of course, if they think that by stopping me from purchasing books on
playing Bach and Dowland as they are supposed to be played, they
strike a mortal blow at terrorism - another possibility in the terror-
ridden US - might I suggest they up their rations of Prozac
significantly? Until they are comatose?
Just a couple of irritations ... I had to let off steam.
