[TowerTalk] Bounces

In some cases you can specify a "reply to" address. I do this. My "reply to" 
address is my arrl.net address. Most of these groups will allow your message 
if you registered with the "reply to" address. There are probably some 
limitations with that scheme as well of course. You would need to check your 
mailer's configuration to see if you can specify a "reply to" address.

Thanks for the info Gary. I'm a Comcast user, and I got un-subscribed.

I don't think it's possible to use a remailer such as ARRL or pobox because 
the "FROM" header is still going to be your real email provider. If you know 
how to do it, please post instructions.
