Righto.. I've been running mailing lists here for a couple years. In the
last few days I've been blocked by RBL (no, my box is closed) as well as
that one that blocks for running my own mail server *not* via my ISP's
server. (Sorry, I don't remember the acronym for that one.)
My mail is not legitimate?
The folks on my lists are quite happy to receive the posts they
subscribed to. The problem seems to be the offhand ways providers are
filtering their mail. Did they ask their customers? Apparently not, from
all the bounces I'm seeing.
