Index of Subjects Hi Jonathan: Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, that number makes since. There was much to and froing among Eastlink recipent after the failure to receive my weekly e-mail. And I have just received an e-mail from one of them who has followed up with Eastlink. He is the second one who says Eastlink acknowledges they received them. He states: "Hi: I was taking to Eastlink for the last hr. and they have a game plan for your thur mail. They can see it being received by me last thur. but I can not find it anywhere, and are aware that other eastlinkers are not getting their mail. They have set me up with another email box where all email will go into for 20 days to see if it gets to Windows Live. I am using Incredimail, which may be an issue but what's the chance of all other eastlinkers being with Incredimail. (not likely)" I did note the Oldham one. It was the second notice his was a bad address and I deleted him from my address book, but none of the others indicated a failure. Quite a number of them affected have now given me alternative addresses, but do you have any theories as to what is going on? Can we assume it is an Eastlink problem? What are your thoughts on my Chebucto address bouncing back from the other list? which I now realize it was sent from a hotmail account, not an Eastlink account, which I was led to believe? I am an established recipient of his weekly e-mail, why was my Chebucto address rejected.
