Mailing List Rejection

Two things... one, if you send it to support@phoenyx.net, you'll get a
more reliable response (unless it's a quick procedural question).  
Support@ feeds it to the request queue where it will hang around and
remind Carl and I that it needs done/fixed/whatever.  Sometimes it's hard
to judge what's going to be a quick fix and what's going to need tracked
down and troubleshot, so it's always better to err on the side of sending
support@ a copy.  (Carl, does support@ recognize CC lines now?  It needs
to.)  This is something everybody tends to forget.

Two, if you tell me something vague, I probably can't give a more specific
answer than "have them try again."  (Sometimes I *am* amazingly telepathic
(i.e., the Firehawk logs see all, know all), but not in this instance.)  
How are they trying to sign on, and what does "rejected" mean?  What
address are they using?

In this instance, I will attempt one Karnak impression, however:  "I
see... someone sending email to an address at phoenix.net-with-an-I."  
That's someplace in Houston (yeah, I'd have expected Arizona, too).  They
don't run a majordomo.  We get their mail all the time.
