Bill,
thank you for your spam protection!

but ....

A few minutes ago a mail of mine was rejected, because the email address
used to send the message was not subscribed to BP.

But everything is taken care of, as it is possible to register an alternate
email adress!

So everybody using alternative mail-adresses should take notice of this!!!!
You need to register alternative adresses, of your work, the public library,
the hotel you stay in, the internet-cafe or whatever adress you want to
e-mail from.


Another thing:
It appeared that several mails from BP to my mail-alias were bounced.
Here is a list:
