Jim, Paranoia on the net regarding censorship is a good thing. I have been spiked several times by CompuServe. I believe that part of the reason CompuServe does this is because the nature of German communication laws. A CompuServe executive was convicted of a serious crime because ot the content of information available though the service. I believe the sentence was light, but this probably made CompuServe rather cautious. It is possible to filter on all kinds of stuff, depending on the tool you are using. Sometimes communicaton failure is just technological failure. I highly advise anybody who believes he is being spiked to contact the service providor who may be spiking him. It is very disconcerting to believe that what appears to be a completely open medium is actuall filtering information. Steve Jim Hatridge wrote:
Hi all;
I've had an odd thing happen to me lately. I get 4 or 5 email lists. This one, two other Linux lists, one on horror/SF, and one that is VERY non-PC (politicly correct). Anyway for about 3 weeks now I've not got anything from my non-PC list. I sent two emails to the owner, I'm still on the list and I should be getting the emails. I can surf over to the groups web site without problem. After I sent the first email to the owner I got an anwser, but not to the second.
Is it possible that my ISP is blocking everything with this address? For example: If my ISP wanted to stop all email to and from "@commie.com" (this is not my group) could they do it? Or is there someplace in Germany that could do this?
My ISP uses SuSE with a Apache proxy.
