NetHeads, Every couple of days I get a message saying somebody can't post to the list, but are receiving them just fine. There are three reasons that can cause this:
1) You just set up a "new" computer and the default is "normally" to send all email as HTML. The server rejects these, but doesn't bother to notify you, so you simply don't get through. The remedy is to go into your "tools", "options", and "send" (in Outlook Express) and change your "mail sending format" to "plain text". That'll fix it. 2) You just set up a "new computer" and you incorrectly typed your email address in the "reply to" field while setting up Outlook Express. This will lead to all kind of problems, but you won't be able to post because your reply-to address doesn't match the address from which you're subscribed, so it fails. Best policy is to leave the "reply to" field blank. The only folks that need that are spammers or others who don't want you to know how to reply to their messages. 3) You're trying to post from work or some other email account from which you are not subscribed. The list should inform you that you are not a member of the list, and that should be your first clue. Some people get irrate, convinced that their God-given right to post has been revoked by the moderator jerk, and I get nasty emails. The easy answer is to join from both accounts (send a message to krnet-j...@mylist.net from the "excluded" account, and set one of them to receive no posts, so you don't get them twice. If you suddenly stop receiving email from the list entirely, the first place to look is your ISP's spam filter. That'll kill everything from the list in a heartbeat. It's happened to me. This might be a good time to mention that there are more details about the list at http://www.krnet.org/info.html . This message was sent purely in self defense...
