![]() David,
Here's my latest frustration... Last week someone using a mailing list-server (the same one I use) apparently spammed someone who then complained to the ISP. The ISP shut down the innocent list-serv instead of going after the offending "user" of the list-serv. So no one, including me, could access their lists or send out any ezines. So I had to scurry around setting up a backup A/R and modifying my webpages to try to salvage any subscribers that might be trying to join my list. In the meantime, brandxsponder.com is moving to a different server. After about 72 hours, I received notice that the list-serv was back online. I checked. Yep, looks like all my data is still intact. Good job, guys. Now to test the system. OK, looks like it is working. I should be getting a test email any second now. It never came. I tried it again. Still nothing. What's the problem? The brandxsponder.com domain has been blacklisted! My ISP is "protecting" me by blocking that bad boy. The host of my email account is also blocking the domain. So even if the list-serv is "working", I can't receive anything it mails out because it is being blocked! Now the question is, "how many others are being blocked from this domain?" How many on my list will not receive my ezine because of this? When will the ISPs learn? If you have one bad apple in the barrel, get rid of the bad apple--don't destroy the whole barrel! Who made these blacklist dudes the gods of the internet?! Now I understand a little of what Paul Myers was ranting about a few months ago... Frustrated is not the word for it...
