[wp-edu] Feed problem--new server

[Matthew K. Gold]

HI Joe,

Is it possible that an internal firewall is blocking the feeds?  That's what happened to me when I tried to use FeedWordPress on a school server recently. 

[I'll get in touch off-list with more details]

Best,

Matt

  My mistake too - I'd intended to send that just to you alone.  Looks 
  like I have to learn to be smarter than the reply-to.
