Well I did a test this morning, sending mailing list commands in the body 
of a message to my FusionMail 1/2 Mailing List Application.  I sent the 
mail from my mail server on a DOS box to the Mailing List App on my iMS box.
11 leaves & 11 joins (in succession) worked flawlessly.

Trying a LEAVE command from my Hotmail account, and my Mailing List App on 
the iMS box replied as if I had sent a JOIN command (twice in a row).  This 
is not new, and it confirms my belief that any command in the body of a 
message that is more than one line long can (and often will) be screwed up 
by Hotmail mail (and possibly Yahoo! mail, as well).  Whether a one line 
long command will be screwed up has yet to be tested thoroughly (joins & 
leaves are a two line command).  So this pretty much says my mailing list 
app owner cannot have a Hotmail (and probably Yahoo!) account.  To overcome 
this I need to change the command syntax in my Mailing List App on my iMS 
boxen....

But there is another problem. Sometimes, but not always, some with a 
Hotmail account cannot POST a message to my FusionMail 1/2 mailing list 
app. Instead they get a message from iMS to the effect that "relaying is 
not allowed"  Has anyone run into this with Hotmail?  Or Yahoo!?

Any suggestions?

best,  paul
