(Something odd was/is going on with the list. In your email
below you have "Subscriptions" and that's the post that got the
bounce, yet it was still posted to the list! And I still have
no idea what was/is going on with Hugh's address. Most
confusing and odd).
Well if that's the case ("announce only" and "four members"),
then why ban email addresses? It may be easier just to make a
closed-list now where no others can join.

Clint,
I posted a message that had the word "subscribe" in the text
and I got a response from freelists.org saying my message was
bounced because of that word. So, I changed the word to
"join" and resent the message. That's the one Hugh replied to.
Thanks Hugh.
I use Mailman for the e-mail list. It's an announce-only
list. There are only four members who can post to it. If
other list members try posting or if any e-mail address tries
to subscribe they are refused and the list moderators
receives a notification.
Hope I made sense!
Tom

>Tom this was from Hugh, I don't know what's going on because
the post was actually bounced back: "Non-member submission to
closed-post list." !!!!!! Huh?? I checked and your address
IS still subscribed! (hugh**@g******, you know).

The
