I dunno what the problem is but ale seems to reject all messages I send from my linux box but 
accepts messages from my win box. Did anyone see the following msg show up on this list??

Issakson is the master of blowing smoke up your ass. He keeps his
 head down and his interests in line picking his "fights" soley based
 on the popularity of his viewpoint and opportunity for an easy win.
 I've purposely had him contacted about issues on taxation and
 individual liberty by people on "both" sides of the issue - both
 coming back with assurances that he was on their sides respectively.
Remarkable...

PS: Linder's a good guy to talk to and actually accessable. FWIW -
 its always a good idea to let your Rep know if an issue is important
 to you. If you're a consituent and several more of you are on the
 same side of an issue - at least they'll have to back off from going
 too far down the wrong road...
