Unless you've done something to get yourself kicked off the forum (which has never happened to-date), your email address is probably not blocked. If you're getting error messages to that effect, chances are it's your domain that's blocked, and that means you're probably a Gmail user.
We have nothing against Gmail. In fact, I like some of the features quite a bit. Unfortunately, the Gmail domain has become a favorite home for hackers and spammers. After a massive flood of attacks and spam from Gmail accounts, we were forced to block the entire domain. We don't like it, and we know that it's an imperfect solution. We just don't know of any alternatives.
We apologize. If we knew of a better way to handle this problem, we'd probably jump on it. In the meantime, if you're a Gmail user and you'd like to join the forum, we suggest you try one of the free alternative email services. _________________ -- Jeff Edwards

I have done pretty much the same thing on Usenet, for pretty much the same reasons. I am NOT alone. |
