he's been subscribed since Jan of last year, but this is the first time 
that he's tried to post

incidentally, I was wrong.  His address was all lower case both in the from

Sturgeon's Law as applied to discussion lists:
Axiom #3: "Sturgeon's Law (90% of everything is crap) applies to discussion 
lists."
Corollary #5: "In an unmoderated discussion, no one can agree on what 
constitutes the 10%."
Corollary #6: "Nothing guarantees that the 10% isn't crap, too."
