Hello Mark et al,
Please forgive my reply to the list, but in case anybody else had 
problems sending me mail, then this may be a solution.

I enquired here and they told me the University subscribes to a 
system that blocks e-mails coming from sources (ISPs, not users!) 
that in the past have been sending junk mail. 
This of course prevents everybody else to have messages 
delivered from those ISPs. I presume that it is a kind of 
"punishment" to ISPs that do not bother to keep control of junk mail.

They tell me that it is impossible for the Univ. to change that list, but 
that if you forward the error message to your service provider 
(usually postmaster@"yourISP")  they will be able to sort it out. 

Or, perhaps your ISP uses yet another route which has been 
identified as a source of junk mail.

I hope that this will help to solve the problem. Please let me know 
what happens.

Gabriel

PS: thanks for the URL!
