Sent the subscribe command to chile-heads-request@globalgarden.com got back the reply that says another message will be sent with the auth key which must be returned. But it never turns up. I've been thru this process 3 times before and have never gotten stuck at this point. The message I recieved follows; **** Your request to Majordomo@globalgarden.com: **** **** subscribe chile-heads fiveqs@verizon.net **** **** must be authenticated. To accomplish this, another request must be **** sent in with an authorization key, which has been sent to: **** fiveqs@verizon.net **** **** If the message is not received, there is generally a problem with **** the address. Before reporting this as a problem, please note the **** following: **** You only need to give an address to the subscribe command if you want **** to receive list mail at a different address from where you sent the **** command. Otherwise you can simply omit it. **** **** If you do give an address to the subscribe command, it must be a legal **** address. It should not consist solely of your name. The address must **** point to a machine that is reachable from the list server. It would seem to be a problem with the verizon addy. verizon translates email addys ie; when I look at my web mail the real addy that correlates to the fiveqs one is something else. I tried that one also and had the same problem. It would be interesting to know if bounces are coming back to the list server. > which one are you subscribing to & to who did you send it to? > Same thing with the authorization key, who are you sending that to? :-\ I never get the auth key. >
