[cobalt-users] FIXED: The aliens are dead (Was: Aliens are eating my mails)

["Rodolfo J. Paiz" <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After a huge amount of effort (and four solid days) spent in diagnosing the 
problem, I managed to force my upstream to check on their firewall 
filtering rules. They had implemented filters in their firewall to prevent 
residential users from setting up mail and FTP servers, and of course just 
happened to filter us as well.

A huge thank-you to:

* Nico Meijer
* Gary Melendez
* Jim Carey
* Jorge Ceballos
* Marc Gear
* George Auch
* Anthony Patti
* Arthur X (info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
* ceo@xxxxxxx (whomever you may be)

all of whom helped either by sending test mails to the system or even just 
offering to help. I did get more help than I could use, but that's *always* 
preferable to less than one needs. Thank you all, even if I'm sure one or 
two of you didn't even get answers back.

Who says this list doesn't help its members? We may bitch, whine, moan, fly 
into rages and argue about posting methods, but damn it, we stick together.
