I took a calculated risk and did what it wanted. But Paul - whoever
your are - and anybody else who uses a service like this - please pay
close attention to Bill's message below. You have to find a way to
let listserv messages through if you are going to use a service like
this. Otherwise you will miss a lot of messages and/or annoy a lot of
people who have no idea who you are. It is not so bad if only one or
two people on a list use such a service but imagine if a 1,000 did?
It would bring list activity to a screeching halt.

Hi Rick,
I use Postini for my email accounts. There have been a few times
where an email or two from the Statalist has been snagged by it, but
Paul should be able to add the Statalist to an approved sender list
through his service provider.
HTH,
Billy

would be a bit of a pain if everyone on a list started using this
service, and I really don't care that much if "Paul", whoever he
is, gets my messages or not. But I'll do it so long as i am not
secretly infecting my computer with a virus. (Plus I have this
feeling I am going to get these annoying messages every time I post
to Statalist until I give in and do what it wants.)
