It's not about one example (of someone who could not post due to the blacklisting of Cox.) There are many. Too boot, bringing to ANYONE'S attention gets you nowhere. 

I'm open to other explanations of the reduced traffic on the list since last spring. The economy was already sour so that's not it.

I've got it! Bear with me here for a second!

Will everyone who has Cox as their Internet Service Provider please email the list now!

...............anyone ..........

:-)

Wait a minute ........ based on your post on 7/16, you already know this.

Never mind.

Dave,

Please accept my apologies for using you as an intermediary for this, but I'm apparently now in the same situation as Al Geitzen. Could you please share this with the group? I hope Marv reads this.

I did some follow up on the reject message I got, and it's not COX that is blocking the mail - it is LOGAN.COM, the host of the lancaironline list. They are using some blackmai... er, blacklisting service out of Germany which claims Al and I "live in a bad neighborhood" (cox dot net). They claim that the 68.n.n.n subnet is allowing "abusers" to proliferate.

I tried to re-subscribe from another mail service (gmail), but I get rejected mail there, too -- albeit for a different reason: the server doesn't seem to recognize the "postmaster" address any more. I tried the one from the lists page "postmaster@lancaironline.net" and extrapolated "postmaster@lancair.net" from the Marvin's root page. Both get rejected as "unknown user account (state 14)".
Does anyone know of an alternative way of re-subscribing?

Or perhaps Marvin could reset some parameters so that Al and I can actually ~participate~ in the list again, instead of being read-only? Or maybe the list is running on auto-pilot and he has no idea what engaging "uceprotect" is doing to the list?
