Your message arrived fine, so you must be subscribed OK. Over this weekend, the list's
email address was being changed and both the old and new servers were down for about 18
hours, so perhaps if you sent a message during that period it would have bounced it back.
You seem to be OK now. Try again with your previous message, since this one got through.
It needs to go, like this one did, to
Entourage Mac Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I see that your earlier messages actually arrived fine. Do you mean that they merely arrived back to you just like any other message from the list? O course they will - you're a subscriber to the list, so you get every message sent to it, including your own. (That's one way of knowing the list is working OK.;-) But if you'd rather not get your own messages back, then
- Make sure you've set it up as a mailing list in Entourages' mailing List manager in the Tools Menu. (You'll see some useful options on the front page for sorting list messages in folders.)
- Go to Advanced tab, and check "Delete copies of incoming messages I send to the list". You'll see a lot else that's useful there. You can use these options on any mailing list you subscribe to if you set it up in the MLM. (A very useful one with some mailing lists that reply to the original sender instead of the list is to use the :"Override default" item at the bottom. You don't need to do that with the Entourage Talk list.)
You'll have got two copies of this and my previous message because I sent you a cc just to make sure you're getting it. You can delete the second copy.
