Oh, blast. Of course I was thinking of the David Brin book and not the mail server :-)
Thanks Douglas. As if this whole thing is not confusing enough without me messing THAT up! Sorry if anyone tried this.

Pssst.... Try mailman.amsat.org rather than postman.amsat.org :-) Computers these days are really really picky.

Wayne and everyone,
I've been looking at this more than I did when I first started to use it and I've discovered that there is an enormous amount of stuff that you can change, including whether to get individual emails or a digest. There are some things that you can change either by list name, by the address with which you are subscribed, etc. Now most of you will only be subscribed to the bb list so you don't need to worry about this. (The rest of the lists are small lists for AMSAT volunteers that are working on different tasks.) But in any case, the entire thing starts by going to postman.amsat.org and creating your account as I have detailed in previous posts. Once you are logged in, in that same upper right area, click on your username and go to the mailman settings menu and you will find all this stuff. Probably going to "by list" is the easiest at that point.

Wayne, Please use the "Sign Up" option, using the email address that you use for your subscriptions. That process will link the "new" account to all your existing subscriptions. You can then set your digest preferences as you like.
Contact us at postmaster@amsat.org if you need a hand or haveadditional questions.

The mail server change caused my amsat-bb digest subscription to switch to a flood of individual messages.
I don't have an AMSAT password in my password file, so I clicked "reset password" and entered my email address.
The response was that "The e-mail address is not assigned to any user account".
Really? I'm being flooded with emails from amsat.org but the mail server claims not to know my email address?
What should I do?
Should I create a new account and hope I don't start getting everything twice?
