Ok. I just got this new mail in. Please read this message and then what I
write at the bottom:

>A lot of you changed your lists over the past week so that only

>spammers won't bother to subscribe to a list before trying to post to it:
>too much bother.)

>The problem is that many of your subscribers may post from multiple

>address. Because there is no NO MAIL mode in SmartList, this situation

Ok....so basically, if you are subscribed and you have multiple email
addresses that you would like to be able to post from, send them to me and I
will add them into the "OK" list. Thanks.
