There will likely be a need to mess with the domain name of your email address. Although you may not be informed by your system administrator, your server will get changed (maybe several times till they get it right) to identify you as someone slightly different. For instance, you are now [email protected], but this could be changed to [email protected]. Both addresses would work for receiving email (for a while), but listservers like ours would reject your post attempts since it would no longer recognize your identity. This type of problem would affect every email user who is subscribed to closed lists. And the list admins (who get unhappy emails about why somebody's access has been denied)! Uhhh, just speaking from my (not exactly neutral) perspective. ;-) Regards, Ed -------------------------- Ed Price [email protected] Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab Cubic Defense Systems San Diego, CA.
