Everyone,

Larry made me aware today that Ameritech, my ISP, has been bouncing some
emails addressed to me.  Until I get a backup email (or possibly a new ISP)
can anyone else who has tried reaching me recently but been unable to please
post a response to this message. (Sorry Todd, I hope this chain won't be long)

Brian,

The problem actually seemed to be less with your email account, than with the
ameritech.net mail servers in general. My observation was that either:

(1) their backbone connection was very overloaded
(2) the mail servers were overloaded and very slow responding or
(3) they have put them behind a firewall that was causing delays

I tried several times to traceroute and/or ping the ameritech.net mailservers
(there are 4 identified via MX records) with no success. The SMTP transport (at
the ISP I use) kept timing out when trying to connect.

I just figured it was an old email address. Can you give me a ping at the jkelly3@yahoo.com address. I want to send you an Url for what should be the gmltc site later. -john (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.test)
