Re: *** ADMIN: AOL.COM users no longer allowed to post

[Steve Richter <stephenrichter@xxxxxxxxx>]

what I do not understand is why does the mail sent by a listserv have to
say it is being sent from a yahoo or AOL server?  I see that messages from
the midrange.com listserv say they are from the email account that posted
the message to midrange-l.  When that message is broadcast to all the
subscribers on the list, the subscribers who are yahoo or AOL are going to
reject those messages because those servers say the message is not from
yahoo or AOL.

Is that correct?  Can the listserv broadcast the messages posted to it as
from the listserv?  That would also solve the problem of a member of the
listserv having their email address broadcast on the internet everytime
they post a message to a discussion group.
