rac8006 at aol.com is trying to post messages to the list, but they're not
getting through.  Can someone investigate?  Thanks.

I would appreciate it.  when I send email to busybox at busybox.net It
appears to work.  I don't get any
response saying that it failed.  I even tried to send email to the
busybox_owner with no response.

Thanks

RAC
