Mail containing the string "geocities.com" will not be delivered to my primary email address. Even if it's in the body and does not appear in the headers. Even if I'm emailing the message to myself from a login session on the same machine (at my ISP) it's supposed to be delivered to.

Let's see whether the steaming pile of clue on a silver platter that I just sent them helps them fix the damned problem on Monday.

Meanwhile, research for replacing my ISP continues. Panix would almost be one-stop-shopping except that their policy regarding PPP connections not being left connected when one is away would make me unable to connect back to my house for files or tools without DSL.

Oh, and if anyone has been trying to contact me from a GeoCities address, I probably haven't seen it. (I wonder whether comments to this entry will show up via email. Probably not. I'd better leave this entry in an open browser window and refresh it every few hours to check for comments.) [It turns out a LiveJournal comment email containing that string will get through -- either because having it in the quoted text instead of fresh text doesn't trip the filter rule, or because whatever transfer agent is doing the filtering has livejournal.com whitelisted. How much more unpaid time is it reasonable to put in doing my ISP's sysadmins' job for them?]
