--------------------- From Glen ----------------------
Due to some stability issues with some anti-spam software here, I've been 
evaluating a replacement.  That new software has been turned on for just the 
mail coming to freegroups.net. (This is includes our soundofgrace list. - moe)

The new software uses some novel techniques to deter unwanted email.  One of 
these is called "greylisting", and you will notice a 1hr delay on the very 
first email it receives from your ISP.  After that, it lets mail thru without 
delay.

Please contact me if mail delivery to your group @freegroups.net becomes a 
problem.  I can assure you that this change was made with as much advance 
planning and research as possible, to assure that it wouldn't be a 
catastrophe from day one.  If we run into too much trouble, I'll switch back 
to the old software.

Thanks!
