Improving how you sing
by Paul Kroeger 20 Jun '25

20 Jun '25

Paul Kroeger <letgo2sing(a)gmail.com> to neohiopal Paul Kroeger continues to offer voice and breathing lessons to advanced singers as well as to those less-advanced. The old saying: " If you don't breathe, you don't sing" can be understood at, say, a casual level, but there is a much deeper meaning to that, too. And it applies to speech mode as well. If you are still running out of air during certain phrases, come and see me. If you are beginning to run short of air because you are getting older or THINK that is why, come and see me. If you are still not able to get ALL of your breath during the "Catch" breath, come and see me. Most of us are holding our breath MOST of the time and think we aren't; that also reduces your range. You lose your high notes first, you know! Most of what limits us is due to what we don't know about breathing. Give me a chance to help you make improvements. Respond to this email or call me at 216-741-4762 and leave a message. Former students: try me; I no longer teach the way I once did. Add reaction ReplyForward Add reaction

Problem: These email services keep bouncing and unsubscribing - ameritech, att, pacbell, prodigy, sbcglobal
by Fred Sternfeld 31 Jan '25

31 Jan '25

Hello All, Our webmaster Sabrina Yoder has made extreme efforts to solve the problem of the bouncing and unsubscribing of ameritech.net, att.net, pacbell.net, prodigy.net and sbcglobal.net Neohiopal subscribers. Every few weeks a mass of people get bounced and unsubscribed, Sabrina then goes into the system and manually re-subscribes them, then informs the email services of the problem. I have copied and pasted the latest communication from them below. Dreamhost has also been trying to help her solve this, as you will see. Bottom line is that we don't know if this issue will EVER be resolved. Please, please - if you can - please subscribe with a different service (yahoo, outlook, gmail) and unsubscribe from the problem ones so we can eliminate this problem. If you need help unsubscribing let us know by writing to us at neohiopal-owner(a)lists.neohiopal.org. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the copy and paste of the latest communication from AT&T and Dreamhost... Is there an actual person reading this? I continue to have to send these “unblock” emails every month (or more). Is there anything you can do about this?? Dreamhost server admins have attempted to contact you about this, but you are not responsive at all: Thanks for contacting DreamHost Support! My name is Nate and I am the Abuse/Security Supervisor here at DreamHost. We are as concerned about these constant blocks as you are. Unfortunately, our investigations have turned up nothing so far. Other major providers are not blocking the discussion servers, which you would assume would happen if there was actual spam. The discussion list servers are all clean on all of the public blocklists. Part of the problem that we are running into is that AT&T isn't giving us any context for the blocks and, given how the Mailman program that we use for discussion lists is structured, there is simply no way to know anything about any of the mail being sent out without being provided evidence of it. Mailman only logs messages if the discussion list owner enables it. AT&T's system is entirely automated. We ask for more information every time and every time we get the same message back, regretting any inconvenience they may have caused. All attempts to request further information have been ignored. Without proof or context (and given the lack of blocks from other providers), our current working theory is that there is something in AT&T's anti-spam algorithm that is sensitive to the volume of sending that comes from discussion list servers and it's not looking at the context of the email very well. I'm sorry that I don't have more for you here, but we increasingly believe these to be unwarranted and unjustified blocks. I am the sys admin of this Mailman distribution list ( neohiopal(a)lists.neohiopal.org) hosted at DreamHost. Many (most?) of our att.com/sbcglobal.net/etc subscribers have been unsubscribed, due to the SMTP server being blacklisted. (see below) I just checked https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist%3a69.163.136.29&run=t… and the IP address mentioned is not on any blacklist. Can you help reinstate us so our subscribers using your domains can get the list emails? Thank you! Also, *this has been happening multiple times now,* with AT&T’s servers blocking this SMTP server, in spite of *no indication it is on any public blacklists and/or any inappropriate email being sent from it.* Can you please give me more details as to why this server keeps getting blacklisted, and what steps are needed to prevent this from happening in the future? As noted above, this is a shared service from a hosting company I am using. Thanks very much. -Sabrina Yoder -- Fred Sternfeld Neohiopal Ltd.
