 	Hi Ambros. As you may recall we blocked your IP address from 
contacting Chebucto because your computer was making so many POP3 requests 
per second it was killing all Chebucto mail access for everyone. When we 
talked on the phone you said you had no idea why this was happening and 
had no idea how to stop your computer doing it since you had no idea why 
your computer was doing it in the first place. I offered to look at your 
computer if you were to bring it to the office and that is where matters 
were left.

 	We will not remove the IP block until we know that your computer 
is not going to kill mail for everyone again. As you may recall from when 
we talked before, your computer continued to slam our mail server even 
after your computer had been rebooted. I will repeat the offer to bring 
your computer into the office for us to look at - this is free - but until 
we clear it, or you can assure us that the computer is not still 
malfunctioning because the problem has been fixed, the block stays. From 
the sounds of things nothing on your end has changed.

 	I'll be out of the office Thursday Oct 24 but will be back Friday 
if you want to bring it round Friday afternoon.
