Hello, I'm new. Anybody out there?

Can someone please tell me who incoming mail messages show up as from, so
I can set up my mail filtering?

Cheers,

In the Sender: field it shows up as NERSP@********.ITRIBE.NET

Usually that addy shows up in the Reply-To: Field as well, provided that
the sender has his mailer configured right so that it doesn;t override the
list.

The From: field will have the original sender's addy in it...

Hope that helps!

It also depends on your mailer -- mine doesn't have a "Sender:" field for
NERPS, but the list's address does appear in the "Send Reply To:" and
"To:" fields.

The best way to go about filtering mail is to check a couple of messages
and see in which field(s) the list's address appears, and then filter on
one of them.

Cheers guys, hopefully my procmail script is working now. Time will tell.

BTW, echo the earlier comments on ShadowBeat - having only bought it
myself recently because it was going out of print, I was pleasantly
surprised. Pity none of my PCs want to play rockers...

Oh, and it has an dreadful cover. But then, we all know that.

I agree that the art sucked, but I thought it was a great idea...:] A
Reporter interviewing a Dragon (Dunky? Wrong color, but...:)) is VERY
Shadowrun. :]

That was what I thought at first too, but when I looked at it again, it
seems to me that the dragon is attacking -- the reporter doesn't look like
she's casually conducting an interview (she looks like she's panicking),
and the dragon appears to be in flight.
