Not knowing that it was unmaintained many people were 'using' it to assess threats to their email servers.<BR/><BR/>As it suddenly re-appeared with out of date information that would not have caused problems back then but would in the 'new regime' that had developed since, many corporates found their email suddenly reduced (as the recipient) or bounced (as the sender). In the UK a lot of BT's servers were suddenly blacklisted - which was a shame since they were often to be found somewhere in the chain of machines through which email passes.<BR/><BR/>The result was great confusion but, for some, a clearer understanding of how this modern day stuff hangs together.<BR/><BR/>I think, Ken, you may be caught up in something similar though maybe not email related.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>GrantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-82648029725477401082008-06-02T12:56:00.000+01:002008-06-02T12:56:00.000+01:00Can't get into it so the ban must be in operation....Can't get into it so the ban must be in operation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-9471869169927902652008-06-02T12:39:00.000+01:002008-06-02T12:39:00.000+01:00I was banned from posting on Telegraph blogs and E...I was banned from posting on Telegraph blogs and EUReferendum and various others because of my name.<BR/>Can't you set up Ken Frost News somewhere else?
