Klarinet Archive - Posting 001671.txt from 1998/04

Subj: [kl] Rejected Postings

As more and more people get around to posting to the list,
we are finding that the address that was used to originally
subscribe to the list is sometimes not the same as the
current address. For example, someone may have the address
foo@-----. When they send a message out, it goes to a
central mail server that might be called mail.bar.com . The
From: address then sometimes gets re-written as
foo@-----.

Now, mail to either foo@-----.com will
be delivered to the same person, foo, and foo won't
notice any problem - until they try to post. Then, if the
person had subscribed as foo@-----.com, but the mail list sees
that the mail comes from foo@-----.com, it gets rejected
and sent back. The name and mail address have to match
_exactly_ to get a posting into Klarinet.

If your posting gets rejected, the first thing that you
might want to do is check out what your "Reply-To" address
is set at. In Netscape 3 and 4, set your Reply-To address
in the "Mail" section of your preferences to the e-mail
address. In Eudora it's pretty much the same thing. There
should be similar settings in most other mailers.

If you don't understand the above - not to worry. We're
always here to give you a hand if you're stuck.
