ARRL.NET Traffic Blocked by Hotmail and Juno


NEWINGTON, CT, Nov 25, 2002--Hotmail.com and Juno.com notified ARRL
headquarters notified today that they have stopped accepting e-mail
messages forwarded to users of their services from the arrl.net e-mail
forwarding server. Almost 6,000 ARRL members are affected by this
action. 


According to representatives of the two companies, this is, in part,
their solution to the Internet-wide problem of spam. The ARRL, through
the vendor for the arrl.net server, is currently working with both of
these companies to resolve this matter, but an immediate solution does
not appear to be imminent. Until the matter is resolved, the League
cannot deliver e-mail through the arrl.net server to users of the
Hotmail or Juno e-mail services. 


ARRL apologizes for the inconvenience created by their decision and will
keep you apprised of progress in the matter.
