Bloody Verizon. > This strikes me as being some damn petty politics on verizons part. I'm a customer because its the only game in town with affordable broadband, by at least 30 dollars a month. So I'm stuck with it, or a friggin dialup that is also about 30 a month more expensive.
And it seems that everytime I use the "reply all" button on this list, I'll get at least 2 bounces because somebody elses server has blacklisted verizon for running an open relay 2 years ago, & never got around to lifting the ban when verizon rebuilt the systems last spring.
One should be carefull as that shoe can fit many feet. The CC: line of this message:
Jim Nelson <james4765@cwazy.co.uk>, Russell King <rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk>, Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>, kernel-janitors@lists.osdl.org
I'm curious as to who I will get a bounce from.
