To answer the question previously posted...

The Listserve is set up so that only subscribers can post. This
protects the List from being bombarded by spammers. If a spammer
manages to subscribe, PaK or Marc or Susan can nuke the address very
quickly.

What can happen is that an IT organization will make a "minor" change
in address format, particularly on outbound emails. Where
"[log in to unmask]" might have been my previous address, IT makes
it "[log in to unmask]". On the inbound side, the mail
system recognizes both addresses (called "aliases") and routes the mail
properly.

But since the Listserve effectively treats your email address as your
user ID, it doesn't recognize the change and rejects the message -- so
even a very minor change in your email address will effectively prevent
you from posting.

So if you have successfully posted to the List in the past from an
address, but suddenly have your messages rejected, you may need to see
if your outbound email address was changed.
