Ther are ways around many of the issues the big boys introduce.

In this case it looks like corrupt DNS records, but from where?

I suspect that teh pi os n default dhcp and is using default dns, which may be AT&T's rather than one locally cahced by thee Pi.

shows how to change default PI DNS behaviour

Since Giganews had been sourcing Earthlink for some years, was easier to just reset the groups in Agent to Giganews from Earthlink server.

I'd started with a Netcom dial-up shell account (and ran TIA [a SLIrP competitor] on it before moving to full Netcruiser (Netcruiser used to be proprietary protocol and I was on an Amiga at the time). Netcom was sucked up by Mindspring, which was absorbed by Earthlink. But the DSL service was just resold from AT&T -- since the phone lines were AT&T equipment.

AT&T no longer offers DSL in my area (they did in Kentwood during the 5 years I was there), so Earthlink couldn't "move" my DSL service to Lowell. and as mentioned, while I could have signed up for Earthlink's high-speed service, that really means having to get a phone line from AT&T, having Earthlink schedule a tech to come out and install the u-Verse compatible modem, and having AT&T convert from POTS to u-Verse service. Much simpler to just let AT&T bundle u-Verse, (VOIP) phone, along with DirectTV dish as one bill.

It's a good thing I only used four of the 8 email addresses my DSL service allowed -- the $8/month email-only service is limited to five addresses. These are distinct mailboxes, not multiple addresses forwarding into a single mailbox.

{Hmmm, I should maybe create that fifth email -- just to rig one for "admin" emails for my RPi server }

Just as a coda, I've been using the working IP, but I went back and checked "

So I'm happy again...
