I put this string in my browser (Iceweasel) opening line after
http://www.openspf.org/Why?, with no space between the question mark and
the "v", and hit "enter".  Since Sadiq said that it takes up to 48 hours
to be effective, I waited three days to post to TLUG.  I have since made
three successful posts including this one; so it appears what I did worked.

I am not sure I understand what I did.  While I use teksavvy as my ISP,
for outgoing mail I use smtp.gmail.com with SSL set and port 465.
Perhaps because I was using that outgoing mail server I needed all those
google references in the string.

Thanks for the tip.
