[Marxism] blocking of marxmail by RoadRunner/Adelphia

[Les Schaffer]

Yesterday i noticed that several subscriptions were disabled by our 
server due to excessive bounces. on closer inspection, they were all 
RoadRunner/Adelphia email accounts (i believe TimeWarner runs both now), 
though not every RoadRunner subscription was disabled. i re-enabled 
delivery to each of these accounts immediately.

The bounces we received indicated one of three causes, and i thought the 
likeliest reason was  that Road Runner had blocked our mail server.  
after a little snooping around, this seemed more likely and i requested 
the block be removed. it looks like that took place yesterday:

*However, my concern is with the content of the email that was blocked. 
It's subject header was

    The Crisis of Zionism and a Perspective for Palestinian Approach

and i am reproducing it here to see if it triggers the block again. 
however, i cannot be sure whether it was the content of this post that 
triggered the block, or the block came about for some other reason and 
this post was the "last straw".

if any subscriber had intermittent problems receiving marxmail posts, 
let me know off list and i will see if there is a block on our server. 
the easiest way to tell if you are not receiving all posts:

1. first, make sure you do not have email delivery disabled!
2. surf to http://www.marxmail.org/maillist.html and see if the posts 
that show up there correspond one-to-one with posts you have received. 
skip the first couple posts, as this site may be updated before you 
receive your copies of that post.


if for some reason you suddenly stop receiving posts, let me know and i 
will see if there is a block on our server.
