Nobody at My ISP can figure out why the emails aren't arriving. I finally had to use an old Yahoo email address to get access to my account again, because when you change your address your account gets invalidated completely.

They seem to have no clue where the blocking is coming from.

Basically, my local ISP of 20+ years, whom I started with when Dial-up was the only option, but now keep for the cheap e-mail only option, (Because I like to POP my email and have it on my own computer, away from being scanned like GMail), has been passed to the owners kids, who thought the smartest thing to do was change the domain from Kendra.com to Kendraweb.net. (So update your address book) and forwarding will only last until the end of the month.

If I weren't partway though all the pain, maybe I should have changed everything to Yahoo....

Or set up more forwarders on my website.

With a new name? They probably accepted a new anti-spam service, and they've got Russian addresses on the list, there are several that are very twitchy.

My mom's email kept getting blocked, because the Seattleites would leave their un updated computers running for *months* while they were not in town, get infected with malware, and send out zillions of emails.

It's because it's a Russian email address. This happened to a LOT of people on livejournal. ISP's banned them. I doubt the ISP has NO idea at all who they, or their upstream provider are banning.

Tell them it's a Russian ISP and to see if tht's why it's getting banned. If they don't know, ask to speak to their boss and find out who their provider is and call them.
