Setting up Orca to use my Braille display on Ubuntu 12.04

[John G. Heim]

John,

As someone else said, you need to install brltty. I hooked up my braille 
display and enabled braille in orca and was surprised it did not work. 
But then I thought I'd make sure there wasn't something wrong with the 
braille display so I installed brltty. Just like that, braille started 
working in orca. I didn't even have to restart orca.,

I suspect the reason gnome.org is blocking your mail is that you can't 
do a host lookup on mout.perfora.net. A huge percentage of mail servers 
out there block mail from a machine that identifies itself by a name 
that cannot be looked up with a DNS query. I don't know who is managing 
your mail server but you really need to get that fixed or you are going 
to have problems with a lot more than gnome.org.
