[TowerTalk] bounces?

[K8ZM]

FWIW.....Just 2 weeks ago I stopped getting almost all my email from both
lists.contesting.com, groups.io and others.  ARRL was doing server
service/improvements but was back up in short time.  Spectrum (Charter) is
my email client, I forward all "forum" posts through arrl.net.  ARRL had a
block on Charter due to a high number of bounces.  They removed the block,
still no email.  I had to call Spectrum and after two days of talking to
tech support they advised Charter servers recently underwent major changes
to improve SPAM protection, in fact they are now limiting and placing blocks
depending on the frequency and volume of emails received, in essence they
are being recognized as "SPAM".  I went back into groups.io and looked at
the high number of bounces, in every case (close to a hundred in total), all
were blocked by Charter servers.  Spectrum will do nothing, they say limit
the volume and frequency or change to another email client, which is
ridiculous.  Groups.io shows a very high number of delivery attempts, all
due to "Charter server un available".   What constitutes a "delivery
attempt" vs a "bounce" ??

For those who have asked other questions along with Bruce... 

The last actual emails I got from the list were on 6/8.   I can't get to my
account on contesting.com mailman server either to check which address I am
using for message delivery, there was a time where google.com stopped
allowing 3rd party reply-to or from addresses so I changed some lists from
using arrl.net to using google.com where the arrl.net address forwards to.
However replying to the bounce notice email seems to generate a positive
reply so I know they can send me mail and must recognize the account that I
can't login to.

Hi Dave,

The SCCC had a similar recent experience with our sccc at contesting.com
mailing list where everyone with a <callsign>@arrl.net was bounced. The ARRL
has recently changed its e-mail forwarding provider. I contacted ARRL IT and
they seem to have resolved the problem by whitelisting the contesting.com IP
address - that should all lists on contesting.com. It's been about a week
since the adjustment.

I have now started on my second round of bounce limit exceeded messages from
contesting.com. anyone else seeing this??  If this makes it to the list

the lists there.
