Some of the email involved comes from the Electronic Frontier Foundation
- (eff.org) and while most email is making it through there are some
messages that are being dropped after a long time of something on my end
- apparently - holding the connection open and their end finally timing
out. My end should not be doing that. I should either accept or reject
the massage. What I don't understand is Phil's comment that it is not
ACL related. I'm just trying to understand what is happening here. Where
to start looking.
