> In late January the moblind.org website was added to the mail-abuse.org

> our emails.  In other words, all mail sent from moblind.org to Comcast and
> Road Runner customers were being blocked.  We immediately began working
> with the blacklist administrators to get us removed from the lists.  Then
> on February first AT&T also began bouncing our emails.  It appears today,
> February 6, 2011, that we have been removed from the blacklist and all
> mail traffic is getting through.  So this afternoon I re-subscribed all
> moblind.org mailing list users that were affected.  To get us removed from
> the blacklist it took the effort of six people working over two weeks to
> meet the requirements of the blacklist administrators.  To avoid this from
> happening again, we are considering changing the mailing list software we
> currently use, as it was one of the major criticisms of the blacklist

> most widely used mailing list software programs in the world and therefore
