Many of you have complained to me regarding Listserv sending you a message about your post being rejected because you are not subscribed, but your post goes through anyway. Apparently a change was made to the newserver at VM.SAS.COM such that posting to the newsgroup bit.listserv.ibm-main causes it to forward that post to the discussion list address [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you are posting to the newsgroup bit.listserv.ibm-main only, you are missing reaching over 4600 subscribers, many that don't read the newsgroup. You should be subscribed to the discussion list and be sending your posts to ibm-main@bama.ua.edu so that everyone, discussion list and newsgroup readers, see your posts. If you do not wish to receive emails by being subscribed to the list, that can be turned off. To do this, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body of the message as: SUBSCRIBE IBM-MAIN your-first-name your-last-name WITH NOMAIL Once you confirm your subscription, you won't receive email from the list, but will still be able to post to ibm-main@bama.ua.edu and have your post seen on both the newsgroup and the discussion list.
