Hoi,
I am registered to the list, I could send mail using my thunderbird
application. Now I cannot. I can send mail through the webmail
facility of gmail.
Can you elaborate on this? Some details would help:
* What's the ISP you're sending through that doesn't work?
I am using gmail with pop support
* What's the email address?
gerard.meijssen(a)gmail.com
* What's the hostname of the mail server?
pop.gmail.com
* What exactly happens?
I push the send button and I get a message saying "an error has
occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: you are not
allowed to send mail to <wikitech-l(a)wikimedia.org> Please verify that
your mail adress is correct in your mail preferences & try again"
* Are your mails rejected?
Yes
* Any bounce messages?
See above
* Are your messages accepted but queued for
moderation?
No
* Do they vanish without trace?
They do not progress any further
* Can you provide a sample message that you tried to
send? (Including
headers and any automated response if possible.)
I will try to send this one as a reply .. That does not work, however
I can send a reply from within the webmail client. Now the thing is I
have always been able to send mail through my Thunderbird
installation. It is only since a couple of days that I have problems
both with Wikitech and Foundation.
I use several mail accounts and the only thing I
can think off is that
my IP-number was blocked as I have used the wrong account to send
stuff to the mailinglist. If this is so, there must be a way to
unblock such an IP-number.
What makes you think this? Did someone tell it to you? What IP address?
Where was it blocked, by whom?

Thanks Brion :)
The e-mail adress is the one I am sending this from
