Email list hosting service & mailing list manager

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.

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 -
