Unable to Post to Discussion List Using Netscape Messenger
Q.
I am subscribed to a discussion list as "xxx@sxu.edu" but it won't let me post because my return address is "xxx@mail.sxu.edu". How do I change my address using Netscape Messenger?
A.
Pull down the Edit menu and click on Preferences.
Select Identity under Mail & Newsgroups. Type the "@sxu.edu" form of your e-mail address into the box labeled "E-Mail Address" and leave the box labeled "Reply-to address" blank. Then click OK.
(Please note that the preferences you set here only affect messages you send from Netscape Messenger. If you use other e-mail client programs such as Outlook or the IMail web interface they have their own settings for your return address.)
Many discussion lists only allow you to post to the list if the address you are sending from matches the address you used when you subscribed to the list. So, you want to be consistent about which form of your e-mail address that you use, "@sxu.edu" or "@mail.sxu.edu". This is especially true if you use more than one e-mail client; for example Outlook or Netscape Messenger on campus, but the IMail web interface from home.
Alternatively, if you do not want to change your return address you could resubscribe to your discussion list with the preferred form of your address.
