   That's not the way things work, Dale. It is *your* ISP that needs to take
action if it's on some blacklist.

   After having checked one of the most common black lists, I can see that your
ISP has a long history of RFC abuse, so maybe it will not be that easy to get
unlisted again.

 DS>   The email was sent, and did not bounce.

   If it bounced because it was deemed to be spam, surely you do not expect to
get a notice about it?

 DS>   or your ISP junk mailed it -- which would be strange since it follows
 DS>   your directions explicitly.

   If my ISP junk mailed it, surely you don't think that my "explicit
directions" (putting the word 'fidonews' on the subject line) would make any
difference? That's just to make it pass *my* spam filter.

   As Michiel points out, if you think sending email is a reliable method of
communication, you really ought to think again. It is not.

   The most reliable way to send a file today, is probably via Skype. Add
'bfelten' to your contact list, open a chat with me and -- hey presto -- you
can send a file directly to me and, at the same time, add a few lines of
information in the chat window.
