Thread: Contacting Tom Lane :)

Hi,

Tom answered a question from me and when I attemped to reply
I got the following stuff...

(I am running MacOSX with a postfix (output server). Most of
the time after I get a complaint about non delivery I tell
postfix to use my providers (Adelphia ) mail agent. This does
not work for Mr Lanes mailbox ( Note I set my return address
to my Incoming mailbox at the University).

Is Tom's mail address output only?

Did you read the error message? It clearly is complaining about getting
viruses in the past from your ISP.

Adelphia is not a small isp, it seems strange that
all of Adelphia would be blocked...

No, but my spam filters have been described as possessing fangs ;-)

After review of my mail logs I've unblocked your adelphia.net IP range;
it looks like the spam flux from there has subsided.

I get crap from them. I had them mostly blocked for a while, but had to
whitelist them because I need to get email from someone that uses them.
