I am beginning to understand why Internet users are upset with Listserv.
I signed up to a list in Listserv with the following address:
[log in to unmask]
Note the uppercase. When I tried to post to the list with the address:
[log in to unmask]
Listserv flagged it as an error, saying that I am not authorized to
access the list. In all cases of dotted domain addresses, case should
be ignored. It shouldn't make a difference if I come in one time as
HANK or Hank or hANK. If my address is dotted-domain, you must ignore
case.
Eric's reply,
>No that's the opposite, I ignore case if the address is a NJE one, ie

>your mailings
I can imagine the frustration level of Internet users.
Hank
