It looks like the change that was discussed yesterday, regarding making reflector messages FROM: rtty@contesting.com has gone into effect.

The downside of this is that we can't see who the originator is. There are a few people on here for whom I read 100% of their posts. There are others for whom I read none of their posts. Now we can't tell without opening the email.

Yes, I'm well aware of the problem and I'm trying to find a solution. The software that the reflector uses, Mailman, only offers two choices: The From: field can be either the sender or the RTTY group. Making it the RTTY group causes the problem you mentioned above, but making it the sender causes the bounce problem. It's a dilemma.

For now, eliminating the bounces seems the lesser of two evils, so I would suggest everyone be sure to add a signature to their messages. Otherwise your post will be anonymous. Also, if you want a personal reply (off the reflector), include your email address in your signature.

I don't like this solution but as I say, the alternative is continued bounces. I am open to suggestions.
