There is actually a pretty substantial amount of people posting to the list
regularly who are not members from the email address they regularly post
from.
I'm betting this is mostly due to people who are posting from email
addresses other than the ones they typically receive list traffic on. Please
take the time to subscribe to the list from all the email addresses you want
to post from (this won't cause duplicates if you set the 'no-email' flag to
yes for that email address'es subscription). If you won't bother to take the
time to register your email addresses, then you can't expect me to take the
time to approve all your regular postings manually. They'll get rejected.
Thanks!

I dont know where my emails come from, but I have a problem that I doubt
is unique. My friend who does my email does not have an open server. So
I cannot post nor does he from the email server that actually answers
jwstephens.com (or tylerent.com, hosted same server...)
so I have an sbc yahoo account, and i inject my email from a variety of
clients using netscape on each, with a reply to.
any comments on this? I cannot post to IBM-MAIN at all by any
means I have determined because of it.
Of course this flexibiltiy in yahoo makes it a hated spam source, and
some people wont take yahoo, msn, or hotmail because of the ease
of posting thru it to spam.
probably too big a topic for the list, can reply offline if you like Jay.
thanks

I guess I just don't get what you're saying (and I know email/sendmail
pretty darn well). You not having an "open" server isn't unique, the vast
majority of ALL email servers aren't "open". I assume you mean open with
respect to relaying?? That's good. Most servers aren't open to relaying and
that does NOT prevent you from posting email from them. Either I don't
understand what you mean by "open", or there's actually something else
besides the "closedness" that is keeping you from posting from that address.

That is the address that Jay is saying should be subscribed to the list.
