*your* email address..

any problems that we have experienced have been primarily due to human
(my) errors in entering members to the lists ( i frequently close their
addresses with a dot.  no error upon the add command, but it later finds
that it cannot mail to that person, or she is not subscribed 'cuz of that
darn dot is not really part of their address, jsut my flying fingers)

I have one user who has two addresses, one at ix... I assumed that his
errror message was due to the fact that he was subscribed at the other
address.
