Thanks, Sebb. I was able to use this technique to subscribe my @apache.orgaddress, but then when I tried to send an email to the list it thought I was sending from my (unsubscribed) GMail address and rejected it, saying I wasn't subscribed. I believe it boiled down to the "Sender" header, as Chris suggested. Messages I sent using the @apache.org from address had my @apache.orgaddress in the "From" header but my GMail address in the "Sender" header. This is a standards-compliance thing when a server sends emails on behalf of a domain it is not authoritative for. I took a different approach, and I think it will work. In GMail account settings, you can tell it to send email for a particular From address through different SMTP servers. I set it up to send through Apache's people.apache.org. Actually, I clicked the "Send email through @apache.org's SMTP servers" and GMail pre-populated the field with people.apache.org, so it knew something apparently. Now the emails I send don't have "Sender" headers anymore, so that has to be a good sign, right? I'm sending this email from my @apache.org address so we'll see if it works. Nick
