On July 13 we started receiving rejection notices from emails sent by the bulletin board to Earthlink and email addresses. This affects all emails sent by the bulletin board to Earthlink accounts:
[Note: The weekly TUG Newsletter is set from a different server and has not been affected, at least not so far.]
On July 13 we submitted the request for getting the IP of our server unblocked according to Earthlink's instructions. So far we are still receiving rejection notices from Earthlink.
Shortly after that, we started getting similar rejection notices from Microsoft-run email addresses at MSN, Hotmail, Outlook, and Live.com.
We've done everything we can do at our end. If you are an email account at one of the above services, and if there is anything you can do to request that they unblock IP 69.16.236.4, it can't hurt.
Meanwhile, if you have an email account with someone other than Earthlink, you might want to switch your bbs account to use that other address. If you need help in doing this, please see this thread on the board re how to update the email address in your TUG BBS profile:

- notifications of private messages
- emails from other users sent via the bbs
- notifications of new posts to subscribed threads and forums
- password reset requests
- etc.
