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? **************************************************************************** John Trimble VOICE: (206) 737-2039 Washington State University FAX: (206) 690-4611 1812 E.
