[arrl-odv:21919] Change in E-mail Service
Ladies and Gentlemen: I noted in my report to the Board for the July meeting that, as a result of our disappointment in the response by Edge Network Systems to the denial-of-service attack on our spam filtering servers, we were actively negotiating a contract with an alternate provider of spam filtering for the Arrl.net e-mail forwarding service. We have completed the negotiations and have signed a contract with Pobox, a company headquartered in Philadelphia. (pobox.com). Testing has been completed on several staff arrl.org e-mail accounts and we are ready to begin moving e-mail addresses away from Edge and on to Pobox. We will start with the 300-odd arrl.org e-mail addresses which include all of your forwarding accounts. The transition should be transparent to you (it was when they changed my account). This change should also help alleviate the problems we've had recently with certain ISPs (most notably Comcast) intermittently blocking mail from the Edge servers. If we have no last minute surprises, the change will be made before the end of the business day today. 73, Barry J. Shelley, N1VXY Chief Financial Officer ARRL, Inc. The National Association for Amateur Radio (860) 594-0212 www.arrl.org

The transition was transparent to me, all right. No mail has been received here that was sent to me by NCJ and via Yahoo. Those are the ones I know about. With my luck there are more of greater import. Oh, well... On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 7:45 AM, Shelley, Barry, N1VXY <bshelley@arrl.org>wrote:

The original yahoo message was received. A subsequent yahoo message arrived immediately. Still nothing from the NCJ contest robot. On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 7:45 AM, Shelley, Barry, N1VXY <bshelley@arrl.org>wrote:
