ARRL.NET Traffic Blocked by Hotmail and Juno

NEWINGTON, CT, Nov 25, 2002--Hotmail.com and Juno.com notified ARRL 
headquarters 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.
