[SOC] 6146b's and other assorted stuff

[Dan W. Dooley]

Hi All.  This post of mine (below) is an example of a message having to be
approved before letting through, thus explaining why it's "late" and so no
longer timely.

On a rare occasion, from an out of town location, I find myself in a city
that does not have a local access number for my ISP.  In that case, I have
to access the Internet via my company's Intranet (that's INTRANET rather
than INTERNET) system.  The way it is configured, I can using my
pipeline.com address retrieve my email and access the Web.  I can not
however, SEND email through the system using my pipeline.com account.

So, when I send a message, I must select my company email address in the
>From box within my mailer.  Note the other email address from me.  If I do
not, the message is never sent.  On the other end though, depending on the
list I'm sending to, my message may either go on through (not real common),
result in a "no-way-Jose" rejection, or in the case of this list and some
others, a notice that the message is being held for approval by the list
moderator.  This happened one day earlier this week and is now arrived.
Actually, it would have been no big deal (to me) if the moderator had simply
refused to let it through.  Wasn't like my comments were all that
enlightening or reeking in wisdom. LOL.

And, I for one don't want to add any burden to the moderator's work load.  I
suppose I could simply join the list with that address as well.  No, come to
think of it, that would not be a good idea.  Mail from the list would also
be copied to my work mailbox.  That might not go over so good....
