I am currenly having an issue with COX who is blocking any bulletins or Newletters coming from ARRL.ORG. I have two tickets open with them on the problem. But they don't take any action and close them after about a week.
I keep reopening them to no avail.

The Messages stopped sometime mid December. When I gave COX the approximate date they said that was about the time they updated their secuity software which blocks any messages they consider mass mailing spam.

But even that does not stop REAL Spam from arriving but it does prevent ligitimate Bulletins and Newsletters.

I'm guessing I'm not getting mail from other groups too. I just have not figureed out which ones.

Anyone not receiving ARRL Bulletins and Newsletters and that has COX should call them and start a ticket on the problem. Maybe if they see a slew of complaints they will go back and fix their security software.

GL to the DESERIVING like they say!

Many larger ISPs also block any IP beginning with 44. This is due to the fact that way back in the day it was listed as purely an "experimental" network
so most of the big boys filtered it as potential spam when in fact most
spam seems to come from those who filter out the hams such as Yahoo, AmazonAWS (where Winlink is hosted) and so on.

Usually a nice note to postmaster@ clears the filters. Good luck.

As I mentioned on the club's reflector I think they found the problem,
I've seen a couple of things from the ARRL incduding the PFB which had not arrived since December.

Hopefully they got it.

K1STM has issues with Frontier sending to me. Going through my logs there's
not even a connection attempt from Frontier to me. Some of these larger ISPs think they can do whatever. What they don't realize is the S in iSp stands for "service". When you're providing mail services and don't send out mail to
the remote destination but report false errors back to the customer, you're GOING TO GET CAUGHT.

I've even caught Comcast deploying routers deliberately broke in Comcast's designs. They wanted to know who helped me with my detective work. I refused
to rat out who it was. All they know is it was someone within Cisco... and
I do have contacts there <G>. I reported them to Channel 8's consumer watch
and they didn't want to know. Morale of the story: Rich get richer, poor get crapped on.
