I need help to explain why netcom.com is truncating the listserv email
address.  Also, what can I do about it?  Who do I need to contact?
 
TIA,
 
Kathryn Smith

I received the below message from a subscriber on my list:
 
I seem to be unable to reply to or send any messages to exotic-l. When I do,
I get a returned message saying unable to locate such address & then it
lists the address as [log in to unmask]   I know I write it with the
u on the end of the address, but somehow it doesn't work.... is it possible
that my service provider doesn't recognize that long an address?  Do you
have any suggestions? Or should I just be content with lurking & reading?
 
 
I then asked her to send me a copy of the error message, which reads:
