You Don't Have Mail

Maybe it is not only in the US

I think this problem is happening worldwide. At least it is happening to me too, not receiving all my personal e-mails, and I live in Brazil.

I run three e-mail lists....
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/creative-radio
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mediamentor and
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/haa-ai

I subscribe to perhaps 100 other e-mail lists to gather information... and I also post to many of them in way of "thanks" for the information they supply.... more and more I am getting this notice....

"554 Service unavailable; [207.181.86.70] blocked using rbl-plus.mail-abuse.org"

From god-knows-where 9i've tried tracing " rbl-plus.mail-abuse.org " and nothing shows up... and the IP address is me.... so I know my subscribers (and oher lists.. and sometimes direct private address I send things to) are not getting the messages I send...

My ISP (attcanada.ca) has not told me that they are using this system... and queries sent out to lists do not get any replies that anyone else is having this problem....

I suspect that there are many systems out there that are "flintering" e-mail without the knowledge of users....

Any one had this experience too???
