Doug, Thanks. No apology necessary. I only posted so the list would know what had happened to us. Maybe I don't quite understand what's going on here. I thought the problem is Road-Runner got itself black-listed? Do I understand correctly that PDML has been added to a black-list that Road-Runner subscribes to? And that Road-Runner is blocking the list because it's coming from an IP address that's on that black-list? I'll try contacting the idiots at Road-Runner support, but I don't know how much good it will do, because they are idiots. BTW, posting from Yahoo is going to be a pain, because there's no way to quote text. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
