From Alan Hewat:
The server only ACCEPTS messages from subscribers, so if the current address does not exactly match the one used to subscribe, messages will be rejected. The server SENDS messages to all subscriber addresses, and several variations of an address might be accepted by the recipient's machine. The user himself can correct this situation by sending to listserv@ill.fr an "UNSubscribe Rietveld_L name@old.address" followed by a "SUBscribe Rietveld_L" command from his new address. This is explained if you send the command "HELP" to listserv@ill.fr
You will then receive an email reply stating that you have successfully joined the newsgroup to mail gateway list and also receive a list of other commands you can use with the "mailing-list".
Remember to send any "listserv" commands to :-
alias name email address rietveld Rietveld Users Rietveld_l@ill.frThen when you want to send an article or query, just email it to rietveld and your email software should handle the rest.
