Well, so much for that idea!

No sooner had I decided to fall back on the old reliable, my ISP, as a source of blog email than I find that I can't connect to the servers. The webmail option works, so it's my computer rather than Mediacom's servers.

As I investigate, my temporary blog email address will have to change again, this time to rewaters at ftml dot net. This is ordinarily my 'spam trap' address, but it's virus protected and can't get spammed any worse than it's supposed to! ;)

I'll post when a more permanent solution is found.
