I am on the horn with these turkey's right now, and getting a bit of
static.
For everybodies attention, change the address to
gene.heskett AT verizononline DOT net
this will bypass the ALL filtering. I'll see if I can change that in
kmail, but they're saying this will take like 48-72 hours to implement
so its not effective till about friday.
So I'll try and remember to keep things posted here.
It looks like I'll need to resubscribe from the new address, damn!
Oh well, if it works I guess its ok, but having to tell everyone my new
address (the old one will still work too, for those for whom it worked
before) or at least those who cannot send me email. The problem with
that is that if they don't relay through a mailing list such as this
one, I'll not know they are having a problem. A bit like chicken vs
egg...
