Susan, 

The only way my message was going to nanog-post is if the MTA there
at MERIT is mutating them on their way in.

Here is what has been sent out.

As you can see, every message was sent to nanog () merit edu, just as always.


I'm not the only one seeing this problem and I'm pretty sure that we all
understand how the mailing list works.  We've all been active for years,
even prior to there being such thing as "nanog-post" so, something is
happening on that end that shouldn't be.

I thought I should bring it to the attention of the powers that be.
