acceptable in SCRoots-Lite. Messages are archived at the group web site.

Sometimes messages are rejected because the sender, or their Internet 
Service Provider, has slightly changed their email address or the 
configuration in their email program. For example, you may have subscribed 
when your email address was [email protected], but it may have 
changed to [email protected] dropping the "pop" from the address. 
Little changes like this cause the server to not recognize you as a 
subscriber. Or, you might have added some extra characters in the email 
address which are confusing the Forum server. If that happens, you need to 
change your subscription address to match your new email address. You can 
find out what address you are subscribe under by examining the FULL message 
header in any email sent to you under the subscribed address.

Another possible cause of problems is having HTML mode turned on in your 
email program or having "signatures" or "cards" attached to your messages. 
Try turning these features off before sending messages to the Forum servers.

If you can't solve a problem using the methods described above then, as a 
last resort, send an email message to the manager describing what happened. 
Be sure to state both your old and new email addresses so that we can try 
to manually make the changes.
