Dear treggers,

Most of you know that treg switched over to an automated mail server last
April.  Stripped email addresses are a consequence of that.  With an
automated server run open loop it will get into a loop every so often and
fill all subscriber's boxes with 300 messages.  For instance whenever one
of you goes away I get 10 messages a day back from you saying that you are 
on vacation or whatever.  If I didn't have some controls in place 350
people would hear about your vacation 1000 times a day as these messages
looped back on themselves.

For the most part sending the message from treg-approval rather than treg
catches most bounced messages.  Ocassionally some beserk server truncates
this to just treg and then there's trouble.  To catch the majority of
these I have treg set so that only members of the list can post to treg
automatically.  If your email address is not on the list, you have to wait
till I read my email and manually forward your message to treg - this
process also makes the email come from me, but I keep your address as the
first line of the message.

Don't like it?  Change your email address on treg to your real email
address, rather than whatever marketing driven email alias you currently
have on treg.  Then when treg checks your email address
<[email protected]> against the list, you'll be on it and your
message will be automatically forwarded to the membership without me
typing a character.  As long as you keep having treg deliver to your alias
<johnsmith@big_marketing_ploy.com>, your postings will be delayed and
they will appear to originate from me.

To fix your address send:

subscribe treg [email protected]
unsubscribe treg johnsmith@big_marketing_ploy.com
end

Thank you,
