[Premium-Rx] PLEASE Don't Cross Post to other Lists

Hi All...

I hate to bring these points up again, but:

First: PLEASE do NOT post to this list and cc other lists.

A recent thread was originally posted to two lists by one of our 
subscribers. Some people on the OTHER list hit their "REPLY TO ALL" button 
so that their reply was sent to our listserver. BUT as they aren't members 
of our list, this generates an email from our server to them telling them 
they cannot post, because they are not a member. The end result was irate 
emails from people on the other list who think we're being mean to them. 
Greg and I don't need this.

Second: If you send your email to the list address 
(premium-rx at ml.skirrow.org) AND one other address, no problem. If you send 
it to more than this, the post WILL BE rejected.

For a while I sent an email to the offender with a reminder. Now I'm having 
the server reject them - but I still have to deal with each one separately. 
If you join in a thread and use REPLY TO ALL, you will quickly be in 
trouble. This is a real nuisance for us, and can result in your post being 
delayed, possibly for quite some time if I happen to be away from my computer.

Thanks in advance. This is such a great and well-behaved list that I 
hesitate to even raise these things. But the easier it is to run, the 
longer Greg and my enthusiasm will last!

Jan & Greg
