AFTER YOU HAVE SUBSCRIBED to the Forum you may send and receive messages with
the Forum members.  To send messages to the Forum address your messages to 

[email protected] 

NOT [email protected]

AND NOT [email protected] 

The address with "-request" is for subscription actions, not for message
posting.  As long as you remain on the subscriber list, you will receive
messages from the Forum.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

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 something like that happens, try to temporarily change your address back to
what it was, and unsubscribe using the old address.  Then, change the address
back to the new version and resubscribe.  This should make the server recognize
you at the new address and stop sending mail to the old address.

You can always find out what address you are subscribed 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 the problem using the methods described above, then send an
email to the Forum Manager describing what is happening.  Be sure to give both
your old and new email addresses.  Personal attention such as this often takes a
few days to take effect.  Sometimes it may take longer.  I apologize for any
delay and thank you for your kind patience.
