I had a similar problem in which I battled Comcast to allow me to receive list messages. As best I can remember, Comcast suspected Freelists.org was a spammer. Obviously, this is some sort of cyber trigger based on number of messages it detects, not content. I threatened Comcast with grave bodily harm and tried to be as big a pain as possible. What Comcast said it needed was a form filled out by Freelists with which I was only tangentially connected. In a combo box at Freelists, there is an option to write to the administrator of Freelists, which I did even though I had no leverage to ask anything. After I gave up trying to settle this, I started a GMail account and signed up for the list that way. Later the whole matter reverted to how it had been. Since I received no feedback from Comcast or Freelists after the problem was solved, I have no clue as to what the key was to unlock the mess.

I hope someone can offer a solution. Ever since I switched to Verizon's FIOS service a week ago Tuesday, I've been unable to post to the list. I get a message telling me to contact my system administrator saying I don't have rights. My consultant believes the problem is at our end, meaning the company he uses as an email server, but this company is adamant that the problem lies with the JFW list administrator. In an effort to circumvent this stalemate, I went online to //www.freelists.org/list/jfw in order to unsubscribe, with a view to subscribing again. I thought by doing so, I might get the responsible server to start over and accept whatever is different about my contact info. I chose unsubscribe on the website and was advised I'd receive a message I might need to reply to in order to confirm cancellation. I did get that message and replied as instructed. But my reply was rejected with the same explanation I've been receiving for five days. I know others on the list have had problems posting that were the fault of their ISP. In my case, the rejection notices arrive almost instantaneously, which suggests the problem really is at my end. Whether that's my consultant's email server company or Verizon, I can't say. I also don't know what questions to ask, especially in the case of Verizon. Incidentally, I still receive JFW list messages. Does anyone have suggestions?
