In reply to JJ.

I have no idea as to why. I tried to email someone with a .mac address and got sent back some message (of course apple is more than willing to send me their ‘valuable’ offers in email) to some site that claimed I sent a single spam message and was therefore RBL’d..

It’s another guilty before innocence company doing their best to extort money from someone who isn’t a big player that has the audacity to be on the internet.

Curious… Do you know how you got placed on the RBL in the first place? It’s bullshit that they hold your service ransom but how’d you get caught up in their web in the first place? I’m assuming it’s arbitrary.

yeah… I still remember when netcom got NNTP access, and it felt like the end of the world, then there was the whole AOL me too! thing….
