Jonathan and all: First off sorry for the problem and to any from the country of Poland that were offended by this.  The response came from our ISP which we fetch our mail from; they run a anti-spamming service that we are suppose to be opted out off but apparently are not.   One of its many "features are country wide blocks or entire class A subnets.  In the past they have blocked out China and HK which includes several of our customers. Gives me something to address this afternoon since I thought I had this solved, and, again, sorry if they/we offended anyone.

Where on earth did this response come from ? It's a bit thick to get branded as a spammer when replying to someone from this list! Jonathan
