Sean Brunnoc <sbrunnoc@HAWK.ULOWELL.EDU> asked: > Does mail to BITNET sites from InterNet automatically get > posted? No. I think something else happened. You (and a few people more, this is why I am posting instead of mailing this) probably used the 'reply' feature of your mailer. Unfortunately, the mails coming from the list contain a Reply-To: - line in the header, so the reply goes out to distribution, which, in this case, is exactly where you don't want it to go. This is quite a common mistake (I've made it myself several times), but I don't see how it can easily be corrected without inventing a computer which can read one's mind... By the way, the above is IN NO WAY intended as a flame, just as an explanation, and to keep other people from falling into the same trap.
