Further confusion concerning bitnet vs internet addresses.
 
I am an owner of AFA-FIN. I have only an internet address. I can
subscribe and post to any sublist of AFA-FIN. My co-owner, on the other
hand, has both bitnet and internet addresses.
 
He can post to a sublist if he is subscribed with his bitnet address. He
cannot post if he is subscribed with his interenet address.
 
Could this be problem with the LISTSERV software?
