I'm using Navlist to try to discover why an attempt to send a message off-list to Gary LaPook has failed. The message itself was quite inconsequential. It didn't really matter whether it got to him or not, to either of us. But the fact that a seemingly valid message has aborted is in itself serious. It's not the first time that a US network has rejected such messages. Would Gary kindly make off-list contact with me, please, to try to establish what's gone wrong. In case I am unable to send further email messages to him, a telephone number might be useful, or perhaps an alternative email address.. The first part of the failure notification read- ================= This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: glapook@pacbell.net SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:: host pbimail4.prodigy.net [207.115.21.21]: 451 4.7.7 Excessive userid unknowns from 195.8.89.38 flpd111: retry timeout exceeded =============== Sorry to take up Navlist space on a matter unrelated to navigation. George contact George Huxtable, at george@hux.me.uk or at +44 1865 820222 (from UK, 01865 820222) or at 1 Sandy Lane, Southmoor, Abingdon, Oxon OX13 5HX, UK.
