If you're going to send me private emails asking questions, it's probably a good idea to not block my emails. It makes it difficult to respond David, this means you

David, you wanted to know what happened. Since I can't send mail to you directly I'll have to post it here. Sorry to anyone else inconvenienced by this David, this is the response I get from your mail server. Either you or your ISP has decided to block me. The bad part is that it's a generic error message, so all I can see is that I'm blocked, not why : host jefferson.patriot.net[209.249.176.3] said: 550 5.7.1 ... Access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command)

David, it's not a bounce, it never gets that far. The mail server blocks immediately, so there are no headers. Besides, you never said who this "him" is that I should send it to :) But I did send one to you just now, so they should see something in their logs

Sorry, the "him" is the cc address; support@patriot.net ;-)

Well, support@ blocked as well, with the same error message, so I can't send to them either

Anders -

me again.

Here is the story. Your entire network (demon.ne) is blocked by patriot.net as it sent over 50,000 pieces of span in a 6 minute period about 8 months ago. As a result of "our" call they have unblocked your specific mail exchange (aghast.demon.ne)and ask that you now attempt to send to me directly. If it doesn't work they are going to unblock the network until they get hit by it again.

Different error message, slightly peculiar. This time it said : host jefferson.patriot.net[209.249.176.3] said: 553 5.3.0 ... ACCEPT (in reply to RCPT TO command) They can't use a 5xx code (in this case 553) to mean success. 5xx codes are Permanent Failure codes. Btw, demon.nl is a big home ISP in Holland (my present domicile) so blocking the whole thing is a bit like blocking AOL in the states. Couldn't they block by operating system used instead? The spam thing was probably a windows virus anyway

You really expect a real patriot to open the door for you? Well, the whole idea of these patriot stuff is to protect them from all the bad things (except the oil, of course) coming from other countries, isn't it. Better not talk with these aliens. Block it all! Before it infects you ;-) --------------------- sorry, couldn't resist!
