>From my perspective, it would appear as though the private sector in the
U.S. is attempting to "save" us from the undesirable's of the internet.
Why do I say this? Because SBC Ameritech has seen fit to block all mail
from the team.net servers. I have been unable to receive list email at home
for nearly 2 weeks now. I have spoken to at least 6 people in tier 1 tech
support, 3 people in tier 2 tech support, left 2 messages in their abuse
mailbox and sent a dozen emails. Most requests have gone unanswered. So
far, no one will even admit that they are blocking my mail, but have said
that if they are blocking, they don't have to tell me why. I've tried
subscribing to other team.net servers only to have my request go unanswered,
again, due to being blocked.
I wonder what Mark has done to inflame Ameritech? I can't imagine he's done
anything.
Saftey Fast!
