[Elecraft] my ISP sucks

[Alan WB6ZQZ]

The reflector here appears to be looking at the 'From:" line.

I use Eudora here, and I have it set up with different 'personalities' 
which, among other things, can have different 'From" lines. If I use the 
wrong personality when replying, the reflector denies the message. Wit 
these personalities I can appear to be coming from my old ISP, my new ISP, 
or ARRL.net, at least as far as the reflector is concerned.

This is not uncommon among reflectors that attempt to limit spam to the list.

Compare "From" lines between the different email clients and see what you 
can find. Also check 'Reply-to" lines. If you don't get enough control over 
the content of those lines consider using an email client that gives you 
better control.

Good Luck,
