This morning, I found two "you are not authorized" messages telling me that I wasn't authorized to post to WMST-L from my [log in to unmask] account (a domain address I'd never seen before). The message that was being rejected was a message that I had SUCCESSFULLY posted from my korenman@umbc account three or four days ago! Moreover, both "you are not authorized" messages came from the same place about the same message. I also received a message this morning from a WMST-L subscriber in New Zealand saying that she had just had the same experience: she was being told she was not authorized to post a message from her [log in to unmask] account, and that she too had received two of these, and both had to do with the same message that she had successful posted days earlier. Thus, my guess is that LOTS of subscribers are getting these messages, and some of them will probably then REPOST their messages--the last thing my busy list needs. Can anyone figure out where the problem lies? WMST-L has no subscribers at vm1.spcs.umn.edu but lots of subscribers at both maroon.tc.umn.edu and and ksuvm.ksu.edu, so I can't just set them all to nomail. Here's the message I received (I'm leaving whatever headers may prove useful): ************************************** From: IN%"[log in to unmask]" "BITNET list server at UMDD" 15-SEP-1994 01:23:28.23 To: IN%"[log in to unmask]" CC: Subj: Rejected posting to WMST-L@UMDD Return-path: <@vm1.spcs.umn.edu:[log in to unmask]> Received: from VM1.SPCS.UMN.EDU (MAILER@UMINN1) by UMBC2.UMBC.EDU (PMDF V4.3-11 #1) id <[log in to unmask]>; Thu, 15 Sep 1994 01:23:22 -0500 (EST) Received: from UMINN1 by VM1.SPCS.UMN.EDU (Mailer R2.10 ptf000) with BSMTP id 5921; Thu, 15 Sep 94 00:21:18 CDT Received: from VX.CIS.UMN.EDU by vm1.spcs.umn.edu (IBM VM SMTP V2R1) with TCP; Thu, 15 Sep 94 00:21:15 CDT Received: from UMDD.UMD.EDU ($MAILER@UMDD) by VX.CIS.UMN.EDU (PMDF V4.2-13 #2574) id <[log in to unmask]>; Thu, 15 Sep 1994 00:21:51 CDT Received: from UMDD.UMD.EDU by UMDD.UMD.EDU (Mailer R2.10 ptf000) with BSMTP id 7110; Thu, 15 Sep 94 01:19:04 EDT Date: Thu, 15 Sep 1994 01:19:05 -0400 From: BITNET list server at UMDD <[log in to unmask]> (1.8a) Subject: Rejected posting to WMST-L@UMDD To: [log in to unmask] Message-id: <[log in to unmask]> Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT You are not authorized to mail to list WMST-L from your [log in to unmask] account.
