Subject:      WEBMASTER: is the new IP blacklisted?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I'm no expert on blacklists but did have my bout with them when our business
was on one years ago. For some reason our own ISP (this funny!) was
subscribing to blacklist databases that of course we were listed in. Since
many members are having issues with large scale mail ISP maybe they could be
using antiquated or black lists that are incorrect.

My last mail from gerry showed and IP of and it does resolve back to
gerry.vanaon.com so that is cool. But a quick search showed the following
listing (only one, but it only takes one!) on a black lists worth
investigating:

71.126.148.6 is listed in dynablock.njabl.org.
<http://njabl.org/dynablock.html>  (http://njabl.org/dynablock.html)

Also one service showed this IP range in a dynamic range which would
obviously cause some issues. If any ISP is using the above service the only
way to clear it from their black list is removal.

Otherwise if there is no validity to my idea then I would tell most list
members to be persistent with your provider. If ISP is of no use you will
have to find a great solution like gmail.com. I'm sure the spam filters just
don't like the way gerry handles the emails and adds "stuff" behind the
scenes that is flagged. I did note that I tried to register via gmail last
week and am yet to be approved.

Is the manual registration process on hold during the switch over?
Lastly since there is a new webmaster should we expect new content on the
Vanagon.com website or is this just a moderator position?
