it's funny that I have to explain this over and over... about what you sugest it may be the problem, it isn't. I have it like this: 1)I have a primary account lets say dragos@my-work.ro (yeah, I'm in Romania) which works 2) made new account suse@my-work.ro in kmail (also made it on the server, which I graciously run) 3)set up folder and stuff to receive mail separately for the mailing list, etc... 4) sent a mail to the list (selected the corresponding id from kmail for suse list); it came back saying I'm not subscribed: the "from" and "reply to" were ok, but kmail made "return path" my primary address (dragos@mywork.ro) and I was refused (rightfully) by the mailing list server Now I'm sure that if I use kmail only for my mailing list addres it would work, but I don't. dragos Bruce Marshall wrote:

Because many people use the help functions and configure their mailers correctly. I've found that some people get jittery w/ any software they use under Linux just because it's running on Linux...no matter how point and clicky it is. This is not a dis on the guy who wrote previously. It's just a fact. People think it's SO different..but that's the point of Kmail and many other KDE or even Gnome programs. It's made to work and feel the same. I've configured 30-40 different email clients ..textbased and GUI under 7-8 different OS's..it's all the same. It just takes reading the documentation whether it be a Help menu or a textfile. If people think that computers and software should be as dumbed down as to cater to the "blinking VCR at 12:00" people. They will get software like IIS which is full of holes and really doesn't work as well as it should.

I think the problem here is that the original poster joined the list from one ID (user1@isp1.com) but he wants to send mail to the list from another ID (user2@isp2.com)
Not possible because of the safeguards the list has against allowing non-members to post to the list. A Very Good Safeguard. (tm)
