Fellow Sea Scouters:
Well, we've figured out what is going on with Seascout-Net. The new
server looks at your email address and if it doesn't match the
subscribers' list, you are not allowed to post.
Several people informed us today that, although they are subscribed
to the list, the server prevented them from posting. The cause for this
is interesting. All subscribers' email addresses are currently stored
on the subscription list in lower-case letters. If, on the other hand,
YOUR email server communicates your email address with any upper-case
letters, the Seascout-Net server doesn't recognize you as a subscribe,
thereby preventing you from posting. This includes among others, all
AOL subscribers.
We will attempt to manually edit the AOL addresses to reflect how we
understand them to be communicated. If anyone else experiences problems
with posting to Seascout-net (and they are in fact subscribers), please
forward the error message to <owner-seascout-net@seascout.org> and we
will take care of fixing your subscription.
We are working on a programmatic way to address this situation, but
in the meantime, this will fix the posting problem one-by-one. Thank
you for your patience. We'll get the bugs worked out shortly.
Bruce Johnson & Bill James
Listowners, Seascout-net
