Hi Mary,

Allow me. The mail transport that received your message was Sendmail.
This, I deduce from the error message you gave.
Please be more specific. Include (to me privately, if you prefer) the
entire bounce message as you received it. If you can include all the
headers, that would be better still. If you don't understand what that
means, simply forward it. I need to see the conversation between the
transport that last had your message and the exchanger at the list site.
It could be any number of reasons that you cannot contact the mailing list
request address. Some of the more common are:
* Mistyped address.
* Improper case (very rare).
* Admin at destination site is over-zealous and blocks traffic from whole
ranges of IPs because he honestly thinks it'll do something about the spam
problem.
* Admin at destination site blocks mail from spam supporting or spam
neutral ISP.
* The rain is just a little too heavy outside.
Might as well add that as a power email user and Postmaster, one thing I
want to see in a future version of KeyMail is the ability to view the
message with all of its headers. I report and deal with spam very
regularly, and I'd love to be able to do this on my BrailleNote.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
