then sign up with a free service... there are several available... heck,
for that matter, sign up with a bbs account ;)

i have maybe 15 or 20 email addresses that i check every day... thunderbird
hits them all at once when i tell it to check... many of my email addresses
are on my own email server but i've also several gmail, yahoo, and hotmail
addresses...

sorry but spamcop doesn't eat anything... it is a reporting service only...
your provider is filtering based on the results of queries to the spamcop
database... i used spamcop for several years to take back my email acount
from the spammers... i used to get over 300 spams a day which were all
reported to spamcop... now i get maybe one or two spams a day and it is the
same email address i've had since the mid '90s... so anyway, spamcop is not
the one to blame here... it is your provider's use of the spamcop
services...

that sounds like FUD they are feeding you...

that's crap, too...

anyway, you wrote two posts on Sep 9... one at 10:19PM (Need Help with
ELEWEB) and the other at 10:43PM (SMTP for JAM / ELEBBS)... robert wolfe
responded to the second one seven (7) minutes later with

Dinks multiserv does this but does Internet email to and from netmail and
requires a separate tossed.

You said "trouble getting elebbs to log in", but I'll assume you
mean EleWeb.

Which web server are you using?
Did you set the environment variable in your web server?
Which version of EleBBS and EleXer are you using?
Which version of EleWeb are you using (stock or coolmax)?
Did you complie your .pas scripts using the latest EleXer from Scott Little?

i use one of my gmail addresses for the elebbs mailing list... i rarely use
the gmail web interface as my thunderbird pulls the mail off the gmail
servers via pop3... if your ISP has such a problem, then i'd sign up a
gmail address in addition to what you already have... however, if you would
like an email address that you can use for the elebbs mailing list, contact
me via netmail to this point address... i'm on a dynamic IP and the
services i provide to some folks are a hobby for me... they work fine most
of the time but i don't shoot for "five nines"... i'm happy with
"two nines" ;)
