Re: NO REACTION TO SENDING CERTAIN AGES

My experience with www4mail, whether SZS.net or any other of the former
www4mail services has been a success rate of 99% as has been the case with
webpage at rumkin.com and web2mail@... Grabpage had 100%.
www <at> web2mail too little. Webpage at rumkin.com sometimes does not respond to
searches and google at capeclear.com is about 98% so my service provider
does not reject such messages. It just seems that with some pages I request
it takes a few sends to get them as nothing happens.

It may be the site itself.  Once or twice when I've tested a site 
online, where I couldn't get a response through www4mail, it turned out 
the site was down, or responding very slowly.  Sometimes the internet 
itself is very slow due to high traffic and servers time out.

Blocked address for Cambridge University

Some addresses for Cambridge University International Examinations at
http://www.cie.org.uk/ return Error 403.  An example is
http://www.cie.org.uk/qualifications/academic/middlesec/igcse/subjects.
Can it be unblocked?

Thanks.

Give it another try. I just tried it using the www4mail AT szs.net and
had zero problems. I even tried it two different ways; one with
nothing after "subjects" and one with a slash after "subjects", i.e.,
"subjects/". Both worked fine.

Maybe something was being changed when you tried or else the www4mail
server you were using is being blocked for some reason. For myself, I
most often encounter a 403 error when attempting to access a directory
that doesn't have a default html document associated with it. But
that's not the case with the URL you referenced.
