Posting information:
If you post to bit.listserv.techwr-l, your message will be automatically
sent to the newsgroup. If you then get a message back from the LISTSERV
stating that you don't have permission to post to TECHWR-L, your
message DID NOT make it to the list.
I'm sending this message to TECHWR-L -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU -dot- If I
don't get a rejection message from LISTSERV, I'll know that everyone
got it.
If I send it to the bit.listserv.techwr-l address, I know
that everyone who reads bit.listserv.techwr-l will see it
no matter what. If I don't get a rejection message, then the
list got it too. If I do get a rejection message, then the
bit.listserv.techwr-l people still get it, but the TECHWR-L
list subscribers will not.
BTW, a rejection message from any address other than
LISTSERV -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU just means that one person didn't
get your message. Just disregard it.
Hope this clarifies things,
Eric
TECHWR-L Listowner
