Ron,

Thanks for the suggestion. I already have G-Mail set up and have put that e-mail address in my CP. I have a feeling that Yahoo is the problem as they are upgrading the e-mail program again and they won't talk to a subscriber at all. If I get notifications on the G-Mail then it has to be Yahoo blocking them. I should know in a short time. If it is Yahoo, I really don't know what to do as they refuse to talk to a subscriber and demand a site administrator to tell them the notifications are legitimate. After all these years you would think they would know they are.

Ron & Brent,

Everything works great when I have the G-mail address in but when I tried to change back to my regular address the dam Yahoo server wouldn't even let the confirmation e-mail through. Brent was kind enough to activate my account but anyone trying to e-mail me through the club I won't get it. I have spent 7 long frustrating hours with the dam AT&T so called 2 tier techs and they won't even call Yahoo as they claim they can't. I told them they have did it in the past and I have been on 3 way calls with them. Then they said they had to have a 4 digit account number which I have never heard of. After numerous ways of trying to contact Yahoo, I was told very flatly they will not talk to anyone but a site administrator or ISP tech. This started two weeks ago after Yahoo one night loaded their dam new and improved version of the e-mail program into my module and nothing would work at all. I had to get a 2nd tier tech to put the e-mail; back to the original one and everything worked except the e-mail from CC. All other sites work ok. I guess if Brent ever has time he is the only one that can possible talk to those morons and get them to look at the problem. God, I hate YAHOO.

Ok, I have e-mailed every tech site that I can find on AT&T and have spent all night trying to get someone that would contact Yahoo to get them to let the e-mails through. Al, they will say is they can't call Yahoo or escalate a ticket to them, that I or a site administrator have to contact Yahoo. This is a Bull **** run around by a bunch of incompetent 2nd tier techs that don't have any idea of what they are doing. I am tired, mad, and about ready to have a complete breakdown. I have explained this over so many times I can repeat it word for word only to be told we can't contact Yahoo. They could do it before and Yahoo even if I could get through to them won't accept a call from me as I am not a site administrator or ISP tech. Just a dam run around as not one of them knows what they are doing. Does anyone anywhere know how to get past these morons and actually contact Yahoo?

Finally after all this time and people sending in complaints I guess AT&T decided to look at what they have blocked. I just received this e-mail. I am sure it is a result of Brent and CWs sending in a message to them.

We have received your request to be removed from our RBL.

After investigating the IP address provided, we have honored your
request and removed this IP address from our RBL.

Regards,
AT&T Internet Services Security Center

Edit: Thanks guys. Now if they will just leave it unblocked.

Good! ..I sent them more than enough supporting documentation.

Glad they complied.

About five days ago I started having a strange problem. Around 10:30 to noon our time I can't get onto the club again for the day. Also all e-mails stop. This morning I looked at the notifications and they started arriving at just a few seconds after midnight. Since no one else is having this problem I am guessing it is AT&T and Yahoo again as it just affects CC and CHR. But when I call their so called Tech group to ask about this all I get is we can't do anything about that as it is a site problem. I get the Server Not Available page, but the fact the e-mails cut off also and no one else is reporting any problems makes me thing AT&T and Yahoo are blocking me around that time. I wish there was another DSL service available here as I would like to try it and see if it is them. I have no problem with any other sites, but think it may be because of the volume of mail and time I spend on here but they won't admit anything. If they are the cause then they can start deducting from my monthly bill the time they block me.

Yesterday evening, the CC site was down for about an hour or two.
