When I first joined this group, it was more about keeping computers running
and less about politics (except for the occasional Mac vs. PC tussle). I
still love to hear the innovative solutions to common problems, some of
which I had not tried yet. Keep the good questions coming!

Mesages to my dad's podunk ISP keep

I am sending text email with no attachments
from gmail. No other email has bounced so

No they are using some sort of blanket policy which tags some ISP's

I have had this happen before from a sterile email account.

The most reliable way of dealing with this issue is to do what used to

allow it to update, and then finally reinstall all of your programs.
