and Other Server Problems

[Guest guest]

Hey Georgia,

Well you made it through fine this time and I thankee mucho for your

thoughtfulness on the first part. :-) And the validity on the second

part. ;-)

They will normally send two .. but you are not bouncing now. Thirteen

folks on the list were bouncing as of a few minutes ago. I sent React

Requests to six of them (you were not one of them as you weren't shown

as bouncing) .. the other seven are lost causes as they have not

responded to previous React Requests sent to them.

That it did. I know nothing of Aol .. but I say again that Road Runner

and Triton are impossible to deal with. RR bounces all my mail every 3

weeks or so and I send them and my server Nasty Grams till they stop it.

Triton has bounced me for years .. so last week one of the list members

told them I was not a spammer and they replied to her:

 

>>That domain was blocked for spamming. I've cleared the domain for now

>>but if they spam us again they will be automatically re-blocked.

 

And I replied back to them:

An hour before sending this e-mail to the list, I sent a test e-mail to

the list member who uses Triton .. and it has not bounced yet. So mebbe

they paid attention to my post.

Hope y'all have fun. :-D

And you .. and thankee ma'am for the kind greetings. :-) Butch

 

PS: If we check out our Funkin' Wagnalls we see that means:

 

" Barbarian, a coarse, bestial person .. name of an imaginary race of

brutish creatures in Swift's " Gulliver's Travels (1726). "

 

Even in Turkish the word Yahu means .. knucklehead, s**t head, dummy,

idiot, buffoon. So mebbe is just living up to their name. ;-)
