[Icom] ARRL/Juno/Hotmail Email Problem

[Dick Flanagan]

Because so many Icom subscribers use arrl.net addresses and this issue may 
have a direct impact on the functioning of the reflector, I felt this was 
appropriate to post.  If you use either Juno or Hotmail, you will no longer 
receive mail via the arrl.net forwarding service until further notice.  I 
suggest you contact Juno or Hotmail to register your concerns.  The ARRL is 
already doing everything they can.

73, Dick

Dear ARRL CCE Mentor/ARRL.net subscriber:

Our records indicate that some of you are having your arrl.net e-mail 
address forwarded to an account at either Hotmail or Juno.com. We are 
communicating with you today to make you aware of a situation that has 
developed.

In an arbitrary decision, both Hotmail and Juno have informed our outside 
vendor that, effective immediately, they are no longer accepting e-mail 
forwarded to their systems from the arrl.net mail server. Ostensibly, they 
contend that this is the result of spam being forwarded through the 
arrl.net system. Unfortunately, as they are well aware, spam filtering is 
not a simple problem and one that cannot be solved through this method.

We are trying to deal directly with both Hotmail and Juno but it appears 
that this is a situation that will not be resolved immediately. We are 
working with them to see why they feel that arrl.net should be singled out 
and what procedures they would deem acceptable.

We appreciate your patience while we attempt to resolve this situation with 
Hotmail and Juno.

Sincerely,

Barry J. Shelley, N1VXY
Chief Financial Officer
ARRL, Inc.
