[ale] Still dealing with Nextel

[James P. Kinney III]

There may be a routing problem coming from your home connection.  That
is an issue with your ISP. 

_OR_

Nextel has had problem s with spammers on the same line/domain that your
ISP sells, so they have blocked it off.

If they are like most places, they also have a web page where you can
send messages from. Grab that with wget and script in your send with the
offline page.
