[ale] being cut off from list

[H. Adrin Story]

It happened to me twice.   the last time I thought it was because I use 
M$ to check a lot of my email.   Since I changed my subscription to my 
Linux email address I have not had a problem.  seriously though.   I 
think us guys that still use mindspring accounts are about to get 
screwed again.   Some time ago they changed the email box size from 
10Megs to 5 Megs.    Last weekend they change the login on the email.  
You are now required to authenticate to the server.   I wasn't 
before??   I went 2 days wondering why I could only check email on 
www.springmail.com but, my home email server had no problem with email.  
Good thing it hapen on the weekend,  I dont' get spare time to work on 
problems like that during the week.

Now,  Really thinking about it,  With all the spam controls they are 
trying to implement.   I willing to bet that some spam detector is going 
off and then blocking all email from ale.org  based on the number of 
connections to the email server at anyone given time, (a email flood 
detector?).

Speedfactory is looking very temping with the specials they are running 
right now.   I am lazy.   I don't want to go through a email 
subscribtion change right now.
