It would appear that on Aug 6, Keith Roberts did say:

I got exactly one bounce mail notice. That was the first time I tried to
send using my NEW broadband ISP's SMTP server of mail.myfairpoint.net Though
the bounce message actually came from MAILER-DAEMON at mail10c26.carrierzone.com
(which due to a previous foray into fairpoint's "tech" help I knew that
there was a link between carrierzone.com & myfairpoint.net...)

Anyway the one bounce specified the UCEProtect thing... I've since
creatively modified that link to point at my original (now back-up in case
I need to use dial-up and keeping my long standing, subscribed to everything
with, Email account valid for cheap: ttlc.net's ip and it seems UCEProtect
list them also. So I added a third subscription to the mc list using a
non-isp "free" email provided by GMX.com and was once again able to post.
Then A funny thing happened... While I was composing this, a test message I
sent hours ago from the myfairpoint.net account suddenly made it through
the gauntlet... Wonder if that means the Email I sent to their POSTMASTER
actually did any good??? So far no such luck with ttlc.net.  <sigh>

Well anyway that's what happened to me...

I don't personally think very highly of UCEProtect. and really wish there was a
way to convince gnome.org's postmaster NOT to subscribe to it...
I'm configuring my email client to default to using the GMX account, And that
should work. Until/unless gmx.com gets listed someday. If that happens I
think I'll give up.
