North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

I have started to receive more and more administrative requests about 
rejected messages for the reason "not a member of this list."

In many cases this is because there has been some subtle change in 
the email address, for example, when you send a message the server of 
your provider lists your email address as joeblow@mail.attnet.net 
when your initially subscribed to this list as joeblow@attnet.net.  
Frequently mail sent to the "old" incarnation of the email address 
will frequently go through, so the user may be totally unaware of the 
change.  Your provided may have made this change AFTER you initially 
subscribed.

Since computers are very literal, the server administering this list 
will not connect the dots and induce that both user names are the 
same user.  

So far this has been easily remedied by subscribing with your "new" 
email address, and then unsubscribing your "old" email address when 
you start to get duplicate messages.
