>(Sorry, folks... every message I send to <Name irrelevant> gets bounced as
>undeliverable, so I'll try this way!)
1. You should be sorry, since the list rules explicitly prohibit solving
your non-delivery problems by mailing to the list. (Yes, I know they
also prohibit responding to inappropriate postings.)
2. What makes you think this will get to X if your mail doesn't? And how
will you know if it doesn't?
3. Other approaches you might try instead:
a. Write to postmaster @... for help.
b. Ask your system administrator for help.
c. Wait until X posts something else and try replying to the address
on the new posting.
