Do you have any trouble receiving any other mail via your uni account,
or is it just the WindowMaker mailing list?
Make sure the address you want so subscribe with is the From: address
you use to try and subscribe. You seem to be saying that it won't let
you subscribe with garman@students.uiuc.edu because your Sender: header
is garman@crh3019.urh.uiuc.edu (which I assume is your machine). I hope
I've misunderstood you, because if that's right then the mailing list
server is horribly broken.
What's the subscription address for the mailing list? I'll see if I can
reproduce the problem.
Hope that helps
Matt
