Phil,

This is getting to be very interesting.  I am the list administrator for the 
Phoenix mailing list and I am a subscriber of course.  But what you recently 
noted got me to thinking about the "no mail" check box in the mailman client.  
I just logged in and sure enough my AOL address was set for "no mail".  I have 
now "unchecked" that function and will see what happens next.

The question is how the devil did that get set?  I sure did not do it.  It 
has been my experience that the mailman client sets it for recipents when email 
to them bounces.  On occasions I have reset the "no mail" function for others 
in our squadron when this has happened to them, i.e., they have been away and 
their mail box fills up.

The irony of the whole matter is that I have been kept very busy as list 
administrator discarding the spam that the mailing list receives only to wind up 
being considered a spammer.  Has someone spoofed my email address?

Bob Schloeman
