[Rockhounds] [ADMIN] How to change your Rockhounds address

[Julie Siebel]

So to the List (and to Earl):

When you suddenly seem to have a problem posting to the list, but you're 
receiving OK, generally what has happened is your default email address (for 
sending) has changed. You can only post from the address that *receives* the 
rockhounds email, unless you have a second account set up (as described 
toward the end of this email).

Here is how to find out the address you are signed up with, if you're not 
sure.

In Outlook Express (not sure about other mail programs), to find out the 
address that mail is coming *to*, right click a rockhounds email, and choose 
properties. Click the details tab, and scroll down to the very bottom. 
You'll see "X-Rcpt-To:" and the email address that you are signed up with.

In my case, it says "X-Rcpt-To: <julie at pandemoniumgraphics.com>". In Earl's 
case it probably says "everbeek at sterlinghillminingmuseum.org" which is the 
address he's signed up with.

Here is how to change your signup address:

Go to this link: http://lists.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/rockhounds 
(included at the bottom of every rockhounds email). Scroll down to the 
bottom of the page, and enter the email address you found in Outlook in the 
last form field on the page, and click "Unsubscribe or Edit Options". This 
will bring you to a page where you can change your email address.

Here is how to keep *receiving* email from your old address, but send it on 
a new one:

Sign up for a second account and set your options for the second account to 
Mail Delivery: Disabled (so you won't get two copies of every email).

I'll let Earl decide whether he wants to sign up for a separate account or 
modify his existing one.

Realize that many of you did NOT include your names when you signed up, so 
if this happens, I have no way of knowing locating your email address - 
you'll have to find it by examining the headers, as described above.

Regarding the RHLAdmin address...I need to get a Google Gmail address for 
that and post it on the page. That address gets 300-400 Spam emails per day, 
and about one actual email to it per month. So the bounce that Earl would 
have gotten from this address would have been "mailbox full".  I finally 
gave up, since mostly you guys contact us using our regular email addresses, 
anyway.

EarlVerbeek



Hi, Rockhounds List admin team,

I just tried writing to the address given for the Admin Team on the info 
page about the Rockhounds Listserv ( 
http://lists.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/rockhounds) which was, 
rhladmin at drizzle.com ,
but it bounced back to me, so it looks like that's not a real working 
address; so, I guess I'll just need to post this to the whole list (sorry to 
all, just delete please if you ain't the admin gang) to get through.


Earl Verbeek wrote to me & said that he's been trying to write a post to the 
List, but it does not seem to be recognizing him as a member--he's not sure 
why, or what might have changed to cause this, but he's hoping you can help 
him, and he asked me to relay his message to you. He's writing from the 
address I'll give below, which I assume is the one he has used before with 
the Listserv, and following it are Earl's notes about his posting problem. 
(I'm going to post to the list, the note about Terlingua calcite that Earl 
was unsuccessfully trying to post himself.)

Thanks--Pete Modreski

Earl is writing from: everbeek at ptd.net,

P.S., Earl's "other" address, but not the one he was trying to post from, 
is,



"Sterling Hill Mining Museum" <shmm at sterlinghillminingmuseum.org>





>From Earl:
"Within moments of receiving your message from the Rockhounds list I replied 
to it, but I’ve just received a message that my reply is being held up for 
the following reason: "Post by a nonmember to a members-only group." Now I 
certainly am a member, and I was replying to a message that Rockhounds sent 
to ME, so how can a problem like this arise? I’ve no idea. In any event my 
original reply is below, now a little late. If you feel it’s worth anything 
I suppose you could try to pass it along to the Rockhounds group yourself. 
For the moment I’ve given up."



"I just got a bounce on my e-mail to the Rockhounds admin group, where I 
asked them to fix the problem with my messages being held up. Apparently an 
alleged nonmember can’t contact the admin folks to tell them they’re a 
member after all – a perfect Catch-22. So, would you please pass this on to 
the admin team at Rockhounds for me, so I can become a participating 
member?"






"Cheers- Earl"
