DrSebby,
Was it wlwatts@cox.net or my old walwatts@tulsa.com (the old email address that i
abandoned after 9/11/2001 because of the following old interesting-I-think story).
Check out the date on this puppy--didn't take 'em long, did it?

Subject: virus@lucifer.com list mail FILTERED BY TULSA.COM--HELP

At the moment, though, I've got something quite different to deal with
that I've got to decide a course of action.
It appears the domain that hosts my email account
http://www.tulsa.com
has suddenly decided to filter mail from virus@lucifer.com
I called this morning and talked to the wife of the owner of the domain,
who, when I told her of my lack of list mail for 36 hours from
virus@lucifer.com, replied:
"who would want email from such a domain"...."sounds like devil worship
to me"
When I tried to explain in an intelligent way that it was purposefully
named to repel people of low intelligence and mytho-literal bents, she
continued to ask more questions of the type of things discussed in the
forum.
I tried to explain, but eventually she asked "don't you people believe
in god"
Before the words "basically no" had escaped my lips, I heard the words
"I'll pray for you".
I continued to probe the whereabouts of my email, and several scenarios
were introduced by her, but all in a "we didn't change anything tone".
1) could be in virus box, maybe because of originating domain name
2) something else triggered a filter
and anyway, her words kept ringing "who would want mail from that domain
anyway"????
So now I'm faced with several choices: (after verifying with David
McFadzean that I'm still really subscribed)
BTW--this is not my ISP, only my email host.
1) blow 'em off and use either one of my @home email addresses or one of
my @walterwatts.com emails.
2) fight 'em--they host one really large website that I originally put
up (and with a little effort could probably get moved)
3) any ideas???
Walter
