MailSword appears to be an antispam service/program which basically asks people to authenticate before it sends mail on to its user. (The idea that spammers automate everything and won't send back the passcode to authorize their spam to go through.) The subscriber should have white- listed the PowerMail list and apparently did not. The program has a trusted address list which can be built. <http://www.mensk.com/software/mailsword/mailsword.htm> The software works on the client's machine, it seems. It doesn't appear to be server-based, so I doubt it had anything to do with the drop in mail list service. I suspect the mail list just experienced a hiccup, as it has done before. I don't believe this is a frequent occurrence -- I can't pinpoint when it happened last. Some time last year? It's bound to happen occasionally and doesn't bother me much. Perhaps a note about trouble being worked on on CTM's mail list page wold be useful, but I probably wouldn't check that until after several days... -- Michael Lewis Off Balance Productions [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.offbalance.com
