Thanks Scott,

Yes, I found others blacklisted my domain in the past - maybe they 
thought my theatre and whats on in annandale mailing lists were spam.

Reading the error message, I guessed it might be my ISP who changed 
something this week. My mailing lists are old and I have reported to ISP 
- but I fear ISP has a problem too. I suspect my ISP has been bought out.

Not getting a support ticket from their support system. I even checked 
out their online AI (I presume) chat but gave up about 6pm. I sent error 
message in Chat. This arrived (from AI Missed chat) and dated 9/1/25, 
19:06:
