None of this garbage has anything to do with my autopilot software. The problem is somewhere else on the path from you to me. I'm curious as to what you are using to post messages to Love-Hounds. If you were just using the standard netnews posting software, your messages should be going to "gaffa-post@eddie.mit.edu". Instead, they seem to be going to "Love-Hounds@GAFFA.MIT.EDU", which is fine too, but this seems to indicate that you are mailing the postings, instead of using the netnews posting software. However, the problems that are happening should not be occuring if you are mailing the postings. In general, the most reliable way to get postings to Love-Hounds is to mail to "love-hounds@eddie.mit.edu" or "love-hounds@gaffa.mit.edu". Your Humble Pseudo-Moderator With an Attitude, |>oug
