As mentioned my many, it's a matter of my IP and Domain. I am sending 

the mail from my Earthlink account, using the ICN server. In that 

there is no reverse DNS lookup capability that matches, I am 

"banned". The only way this works is if I send the news from home 

(which I do infrequently) or am on the road (also sent infrequently). 

In the meantime, the individual who is affected is off the direct 

list and is going to receive the news via Radsafe (which is not 

blocked so far) .. but could be in the future, as seen in other 

institutions.
