    FWIW and maybe a different problem, for some reason 
Earthlink and its associated names like Netcom were blocked 
by someone. I belong to a photogrphy mailing list that 
blocked my posts TO the list. I could get the messages from 
the list but not post to it. For a time I used a throw-away 
address just for this list. They finally found a way to fix 
the problem but it evidently is quite common.
