[Mb-civic] A request from the Moderator

Hi folks -
Just a quick reminder that you can only post to the list from the email
address where you are subscribed. This is the address where you receive the
posts from the list. When a post comes in from an address that is not
subscribed it gets stopped by the spam filters and I get a notification to
go to the Admin pages and Ok it or reject it if it's spam. While I don't
mind doing this several times during the day it has been happening much more
lately, so thought it worth mentioning. This also results in delays before
your posts come through to the list.
One possible solution is to subscribe the other addresses you want to post
from, but stop mail delivery to them (so as to not receive several copies of
each post at different addresses).
Thanks for giving this your attention. Below my sig file I have copied the
relevant section of the FAQ.

Here is the relevant section from the FAQ:
Posting to the list
To post to the Mb-Civic List send your email to mb-civic at islandlists.com It
will be sent out to all of the subscribers of the list.
Please note the following:
You can only post from the email address you are subscribed at.
The email address mb-civic at islandlists.com must be visible in the To or
the CC fields of your email. Emails where the list address is a Blind
Carbon Copy, or as part of a larger mailing list which does not show the
addresses, get stopped by the filters and must be OKed by the moderator
before they go out to the list. Please make sure the list address is
visible.
Posts larger than 100K in size must be checked and authorized by the
moderator.
All posts to the list must be sent in plain text, and not in html. The
software we use to archive the posts does not accept any html, nor do some
email programs, therefore we ask that all post be in plain text only.
