This is for everyone's benefit: When you cannot post to the list, but are still receiving notes, it is because your email administrator or ISP has changed the machine name or account name your email is delivered from. For example, let's say my email address is "xxxxxx@mail.hrinet.org". My network administrator, thinking he's doing something swift, changes the configuration of our mail server, so my outgoing mail looks like it's coming from just "xxxxxx@hrinet.org". I still receive my email fine (as both addresses work), but when I email ListServs (not just RESADM-L's, any of them), they interpret the different addresses as being different users. So, you will get an error back saying you are not subscribed, and "unauthorized" to post messages. The message sent to you also includes a description of this whole email issue. To solve the problem, the best thing to do is to unsubscribe via your old address, and re-subscribe via your new address. In most cases, however, this will not be possible unless you know of the change beforehand. If this is not possible, email "xxxxxx@hrinet.org" detailing your old and new email addresses and I can make the change for you. - - Mike Varney / RESADM-L Administrator Charna K Howson <xxxxxx@UNCG.EDU> on 12/14/99 09:07:59 AM Please respond to Research Administration Discussion List <xxxxxx@hrinet.org> To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org cc: (bcc: Mike L.

Charna >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I could use a little assistance from you with regard to the RESADM-List. I no longer seem able to post messages to the list for some reason, even though I get the listings when they are posted by others. One of my colleagues at the Purdue Spon. Prog, office asked me to contact the list to try to find out if anyone has posted a "manual for contract negotiations" on their web site out there in Research Administrator-Land. He needs one ASAP - Lou xxxxxx@home.net *************************************************************************** *** ---------------------- Charna K Howson Associate Director Office of Research Services 100 McIver Building, UNCG P.O.
