Yes, thanks a lot Eric, lne was a good job.

An unsubscribe command sent to the lne.com administrivia address was rejected as spam? I find that hard to believe, as that is one of the normal commands, ones which the lne regular message lists. Perhaps you tried to send an unsubscribe message to the actual lne.com list site, rather than the administrivia address. Check which address you mailed to. No, it went to the correct address. I've set up and run majordomo lists, so am fairly familiar with the procedure. The problem is that my email server sits on an ameritech dsl line, and in the last year or so, a number of domains have begun rejecting email from such. Some because it's a block of IPs used for home dsl lines, some because someone on your network has been sending spam, etc. IIRC, didn't you yourself have a problem awhile back mailing to lne.com? I haven't been able to mail to it for a long time, but stayed subscribed because of Eric's good filter, and just posted thru another node. With other domains, like new.rr.com that reject mail from my server, I just map it to go thru the ameritech smtp server, which works but is annoying. At this point there are eight domains I've had to do that with. Could have done it with lne.com too, of course, but prefered to not have my posts to cpunks going thru the ameritech server with it's (probably) attendent carnivore box. Maybe that's irrelevant -- maybe they have it on the gateway routers instead.
Re: unsub from lne
Another alternative could be a couple lines of PHP or perl, unsubscribing via a web form. On related note, what's a good node to migrate to? PS: Thanks, Eric. It was a good node.

Re: unsub from lne

It's fairly possible the mail was rejected even before the SMTP negotiation itself; it did little problems to me because of HELO string not exactly matching the reverse DNS lookup on the IP. The logs (or the bounce message) have the answer.
