Default A few days ago, could not get Aioe.org to get, nor post, why?

A few days ago, after reading and replying to 1 posting, I could no
loger reply to any posting on the newsgroups through the Aioe access.

Kept getting an error message
Error 441 BanList, or something


At the same time ONLY the Subject lines and originators' names would
come in, couldn't read a SINGLE posting, all blank. It felt like being
blocked. The newsgroups from eternal-september kept coming in, and I
could read each, but not the ones through Aioe. Of course, can't seem to
get any posting through eternal-september, but at least could read.

Seemed very odd, since I only read down through approx 200-400 postings
a day, and barely respond to at most 10 a day so there should be no
reason to get blocked. Rebooting and/or over the next few days problem
went away. Any ideas why, or better yet what to do if it happens again?



Some news groups reject aioe to prevent spam I suppose.
I mainly use eternal-september
