Just wondering if anyone else is having e-mail problems? OR, has anyone e-mailed either me or Mark Hueffman, and not received a response?

I have four different e-mail addresses I can send mail from, Mark has 2 e-mail addresses I'm sending to, and NONE gets to his main address, and only SOME gets to his other address??? BUT, he's getting e-mail from others regularly. But I'm wondering if he's not getting mail from others besides me?

I GET e-mail from Mark fine, and from others too, and it seems all OTHER e-mail I send gets to it's destination! It's almost like some hacker is blocking Mark from getting e-mail from ME?!

Could it be anti-virus software on the e-mail servers?? Some of these viruses themselves? Any ideas??!
:confused:

Also heard there is a $250,000. reward for any info leading to the arrest of the person responsible for this one. I'd just personally like to kick the $hit out of their a$$!!
