I don't know why you're having a problem but I, too, have been having
problems with getting my messages posted starting with last Thurs. and
then, suddenly there were two of them yesterday. The first message I got
from my server was that the UCDavis listserv address was a bad address
which, of course, was not true since I had used many times before. There
are several people on the list to whom the messages are undeliverable and
I would like to see those addresses deleted (mostly the Tax Analysts
folks who must have changed providers.)
