This is really not an "error" per se. You are receiving this because the
sympa server, the one Mandrake is running, will not accept your post if
you are using a return address other than the one you subscribed with to
the list. This makes for good security and anti-spamming.

Now there is a way around this: you must be running a smtp server, and  
after you send your post, Mandrake's sympa server will send you back a
confirmation that you must respond to with the exact number sequence
that they include in there confirmation email. Then you get your mail
posted. Clear as mud, eh?

For Example, I subscribe with a return address of [EMAIL PROTECTED],
and that is the address that sympa will look for. I now send as
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and I get back that confirmation that I
mentioned earlier in post. I send it back, and I get my email posted.

Want an easier way, just change your friggin address with mandrake...
