For those that use any of the service providers that Norm refers to, other 
than complaining to them about the problem, you may need to set up an 
alternate email with an free email provider like Yahoo or Google. When this 
issue first came up I immediately created a new email on Yahoo to be used 
strictly for MDOSPREY and I have had absolutely no problems since. If you 
use a program like outlook express to handle you emails, there are some 
configuration settings that you need to make in accounts tool to get 
everything to work smoothly, but the directions are available on the various 
sites. If anyone does this and has any questions, I'd be willing to help in 
any way that I can. The one problem that may arise otherwise is the full 
status of the MDOSPREY list. I don't know if Norm would be willing to take 
the time to modify each person's accounts to the new email addresses or not 
if they chose to go this route. You'll have to take this up with Norm.
