Post by thread:[ADMIN] Weird problems subscribing, please help

Hello ! I'm about to switch my subscribtion over to my home computer/ISP but has some serious problems. When i try to subscribe from my home ISP i don't get any replys no nothing, i have tried to send info and help requests to but no response at all. From work i tried the change command to move it over and then i get a mail sent to home that i should reply with an "ok #######" message and then i get a response to home with a new request to send an ok but with another number. At the same time i get a reply to work with a comment like this. Your request cannot be processed because the confirmation came from spam_OUTstdaTakeThisOuTD1O41.TELIA.COM rather than .....sten.dahlgrenKILLspam@spam@TELIA.COM. For security reasons, the confirmation for a change of address must come from the new address. A new confirmation request is being sent. At home i'm logged in as stda. The machine name D1041 is something my ISP has invented. Probably DHCP thing. Any help needed. regards /Sten

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is completely irrelevant to the problem here. DHCP has to do with dynamic IP addy assignments. What his problem could be are his mail program settings. Either that or SMTP/POP server problems... Sheesh, it's been a LONG time since I've posted, and when I do, it's completely OT, arrrggghh! Regards, Tim Hamel

I need to see your headers, I think, from the home machine (it's possible something's not set right there, it's possible I've misled myself here, too <G>) (BTW, the 'Ideal' e-mail address for "Help!" requests like this is the "PICList Admins Helpline" address, <PICList-Requestspam_OUTMITVMA.MIT.EDU>. But, then, Paul and Tim don't get to tease you <G>) Mark -- I do small package shipping for small businesses, world-wide.
