Okay, now this message was new to me. Anyone else received anything like this
for their postings recently?

Never gotten one of those, no. Were you sending that post to both the
list address and any other addresses at the same time? (Either
multiple addresses in the To: line or CC:ed to someone?) The reason I
ask, is that this message sounds like a spamfilter, to keep the list
from getting included in a Mass-Mailing sent to several addresses.

(We did get hit by someone's Convention-spam a few days back. It was
an email that was sent to several dozen RPG lists. It could be that
the admins put up a filter as a result)

Hmmm... I hadn't considered that one Paul, thanks for the idea. Yes, there
were a few addy's included, but not NEARLY as many as that convention one that
we all got (I read that list...).

This is if you have many recipients in the TO: field of your original
message. To solve it, put shadowrn@*********.org in the TO: field, and all
the other recipients in the CC: (Carbon Copy) field of your mailer. (AOL
supports those, no?). The messages will be sent to everyone in both the TO:
and CC: field, but the Mailman listserv software won't think it's spam.

I approved your post manually, it should be finding it's way to RN just
before this message hits.
