The macintouch article complains that sending mail to the email discussion list is the only was to resolve the issue, and it takes several days. I ran into this problem earlier this year when the dynamic IP domain name service I use, dynip.com, was blocked by mac.com. I sent notes to both [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to let them know that I was not a spam source and ask what I could do to correct the problem. The correction was completed 4 days later (Sunday Mar 10 - Thursday Mar 14). It makes sense to me that at least the postmaster address would be check daily, so the delay in getting this resolved may be due to an internal process at Apple rather than a delay in picking up the mail via the discussion list. The response on macintouch was basically favorable to Apple's filtering of mail. Personally, I'd rather censor my own mail and toss the SPAM rather than have someone else do it for me, but if Apple had warned me ahead of time I wouldn't have been as annoyed. -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
