Paul- Not everyone has gc-gateway on the ban list. Might want to just remove everything from the ban list and start fresh. Joan In a message dated 3/21/2012 8:08:00 P.M.

The only thing in it should be ^gc-gateway@rootsweb.com to allow you to review the entries from the companion board. Did you delete the line you want removed or just make it blank. If there are there two ^^ you just want one. Do you have each entry on the ban list and start it with a ^. Paul
