Bon Matin,
There is something in the appended Mail loop check reject that prevents
it to be posted... I have no idea what, the author put spaces in the
addresses so it could go through ... It has been rejected 5 times ...
Our list is [log in to unmask]
Can this
> Reply-To: ST102315 <ST102315 % BITNET.BROWNVM
Be the line causing the problem ?
I am lost there ...

fifth try... let's see if this gets through. Note: I've had
to edit some of the headers in the quoted messages to get them
to go through the listserver...
Warning - this is long, but as far as I know it's the first time
that the full origin of blues-l has been posted.

Blues-l was formed in May 1993. I've been on it since its inception.
It's is actually the second blues mailing list on the net - there was
another one just called "blues". The address was [log in to unmask]
My last archived posts from it are from May 1993 and include this one:
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 93 20:25:17 PDT
To: blues @ ucsd.edu
Subject: combining blues lists
As someone mentioned, there's another blues mailing list at Brown
University
which has recently been started up. I've been corresponding with
the fellow
who handles that list, and he says they are running about 30+ pieces
of mail
per day, and have 130 or so people on the mailing list. We have
discussed
combining the mailing lists.
Could I have a vote, please? If we do combine, I'd add our list to
the
Brown list, since theirs is a bit larger and more active. I won't do
it if
there is substantial demurring. The lists might have totally
different
personalities, for all I know - I'm not on the other list.
Please send your 'yes' or 'no' vote to me NOT at this address, but at
[log in to unmask]
Thanks.

Then a few weeks later Valerie posted this:

To: blues @ ucsd.edu
Subject: this mailing list
Well, the vote is 2 to 1 in favor of combining lists, and since there
appears to be NO traffic on this list (!), I'm going to send our
mailing
list to the fellow who runs the other list, and ask him to add y'all
to it.
I'll also ask him to send out a new posting on how to send messages
to
the list and how to subscribe to the digest version.
Thanks and see you on the new list,
Valerie Polichar
I dug around a bit more and found this:

So it seems that blues-l was created to fill a void that wasn't there
to begin with :-) The ucsd list was still around, but apparently in
its final throes. Blues-l was created by Jacob Haller, a vote was put
to the ucsd crowd, and the groups merged to form the new list.
