I wonder if a couple of others could try that link, please:  try 
subscribing to the Netsurf list from a different valid address of your 
own.  Do you get the same message as I did?  What ISP are YOU using?

I resorted to the Netsurf-users Archives to see recent postings to the 
list, and found Tim's message there.  (Jeremy Nicoll supplied the 
link:  https://listmaster.pepperfish.net/pipermail/netsurf-users-netsu 
rf-browser.org/ )

No, I didn't get the BCC email either.  Please do a "reply-all", which 
will send to both my Abbeypress and Archivemag domains, which are 
hosted on separate servers (Xencentric and Orpheus respectively).

Rob Kendrick (Netsurf team) and Neil Spellings (Xencentric) have been 
in touch regarding routing details; stand by.

Yes, I do (i.e. it fails for me just like it does for you).  I'm
using BT as my ISP, and more to the point my email service provider
is inbox.com but using my own domain name.

I'm getting "You must supply a valid email address" whether I supply a 
valid forwarder address, an alternative mailbox on my PlusNet account 
or a PlusNet alias for my normal address.
