Subject	[chairs] Mailing List changes rolled out

Chairs,
I'm writing this message as a heads up to some changes rolled out this
week to 
mailing lists.  Certain members have been having trouble posting to
mailing 
lists due to their companies utilizing a technology called BATV, or PRVS.
 
Our mailing list software has been modified as follows to assist these
members.

Since BATV or PRVS mplementations modify an outgoing message's "Return-Path:"
header to authenticate potential bounces,  the software we use to
manage our 
mailing lists was not properly recognizing those messages as coming from
a 
valid poster address.  The newly modified version will base the acceptance
of 
a message posting on the "From:" address, instead of the "Return-Path:"
from 
now on.

I just want to make sure everyone is aware of this change so that if you
see 
problems with people posting to the lists, please report them to me.  I
strongly doubt there will be any noticeable impact at all, but 
wanted to ensure that people were at least aware of this change happening.
