Hello janet:

Actually both my emails, freeservers.com based for my domain
clayvillepottery.com and yahoo.com that I used for the last 4 years are
blocked by some servers as spam, extremely annoying to block wholesale, but
too bad for them they will not recieve my gems ;)

Happy holiday all,
From this designated spammer

I just wanted to advise AOL users that in their wisdom to stop
spam, AOL is blocking ALL E-mail from certain domains and
servers, no matter who the account holder is. It apparently
applies to my ISP (freeserve) so I am unable to E-mail two or
more people (neither as to: or bbc: or cc: or to: "blind send" -
an option for calypso users) with AOL accounts.

I am sometimes able to send single or unique posts, but not
always... That seems a hit-and-miss thing. Sometimes it works,
often it does not, especially aol.br the Brazilian AOL for some
reason.

Sorry, but that means maybe a couple of Clayarters included in my
mail list, will not be getting a Christmas mail... It is also
worth taking into consideration for you guys setting up a
data-bank for mass-mailing. Could be problematic...

Sincerely

Janet Kaiser
