My guess is that rr.com's mail servers are so slow because of all the
top posting that must go through them. Maybe if we all practiced good
mailing list etiquette and trimmed our posts, it would clear up.

They also happen to be open relays, and blacklisted on dsbl.org (smtp),
meaning I can't receive emails from them..unless I want to cutback on my
sendmail security. I've been complaining about this forever. If anyone
else wants to help me harrass them with emails etc, that would be great!

one of many examples for nc.rr.com
