The other address I was using was an hotmail account. Because of the amount of spam that is generated from spammers phishing gmane (I believe) I didn't want my work email swamped. Unfortunately the list would send to the address but it wouldn't allow me to respond. I've had better luck with the hotmail account not getting spam than my personal or work accounts probably because most spammers know that we use those accounts to divert spam. Jerry

My office email server was on a vpn, with a 192.168/16 address. Any attempt to post was rejected because listserver.u2ug thought I was on its local lan, and it couldn't validate me as a "to it" local poster. That problem has been there for yonks.
