E-mail delivery in the LISTSERV world is more complicated
than driving down to the corner convenience store to buy some
milk ;-)
 
Some factors that affect e-mail delivery --
 
o  properly recorded userid@hostname in the subscriber list
o  properly updated/administered BITEARN NODES table e.g., :INTERNET tag
o  properly updated/administered Bitnet MAILER tables
o  properly updated/administered LISTSERV siteS
o  properly updated/administered Domain Name SystemS
o  properly set auto-forwarding address (if any)
o  networks and hosts that need to be available
o  routers that route properly
o  Mail Transfer Agents (MTA) that work properly including boucing
   mail to appropriate errors-to: addresses
 
You might want to follow-up on nodeinfo@cunyvm, though that is
a list for actual mail problems and their solutions/bypass.
