    Folks,

    If I sound/read like I am pissed, aggravated, well, I am.... please
    hear me out.

    We are a small business. We are here to serve and support our
    customers, especially with electronic mail. I work very hard at this,
    and hopefully, god willing, we will be able to get back on track with
    advanced Wildcat! development and improved our customer support, which
    I personally think is high quality. We try.

    If you are on any our support list and you are getting mail that
    concerns you and/or you don't like the sender, please contact me so I
    can address the issue, but please DO NOT mark or tag us as a
    "spammers" with your ESP based mail readers ike with Yahoo.com,
    Aol.com, Outlook.com, gmail.com and any other ESP domain MUA or GUI
    mail reader.

    When you do that, you are causing a serious network wide BLOCK and
    Tortious Interference on our entire mail system and all our domains.
    It will stop customers from getting their support mail, especially our high-end business and enterprise customers that helps subsidize the
    support for non-enterprise customers.

    You might think or say

    "But I am not tagging winserver.com as spammers, I am tagging that
    other guy in the winserver support list spamming me with dupes and junk!"

    No, when you mark our list mail, those big high-scale ESPs learn by
    reading the RETURN-PATH which is not the poster address you have a
    problem with but the LIST admin address at winserver.com or
    santronics.com. It also tracks our IP and that gets added to the RBL
    sites.

    So what happens is we get this:

    The same stupid error for yahoo.com and aol.com accounts.

    421 4.7.0 [TSS04] Messages from 76.245.57.69 temporarily deferred
    due to
    user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see https://help.yahoo.com/kb/postmaster/SLN3434.html

    Not even my brother-in-law, at xxxxxxxx@aol.com, can get his mail sent
    by my wife, she is pissed and so I am.

    The only good thing is that Yahoo.com and Aol.com is saying "look, you
    can try again later." That is what the 421 code means, try again
    later but all this gives us a negative reputation and it slows down
    our mail getting to customers. If that was a 5yz number, that would
    of been really bad because it means a PERMANENT BLOCK.

    In any case, this is the only warning:

    1) If we find that you are the reason for causing our mail network
    problem, you will be permanently banned from winserver.com and any
    other our email support mailing list. Direct email support will be
    allowed.

    2) DO NOT EXPORT/IMPORT/GATE any of our support conferences, mailing
    list or forums into another network. If you are going to use QWK to
    download our forums for your QWK mail readers like OLX or Silver
    Xpress or another QWK reader, that is fine, but if you plan to network
    into your BBS, DO NOT IMPORT/UPLOAD mail packets back into our mail
    system.

    And finally, please, I can't emphasize this enough:

    3) If you do get an email from our system, from our mailing list, that
    you are having an issue with, please, contact us at
    support@santronics.com, so we can directly address the issue.
    Overall, please do not TAG, MARK or BLOCK our IPs and domains by
    marking a list user you are having a problem with but end up block our
    company mail operations. Not good.

    Thank you.
