Hi David,
interesting effect we are seeing here; it turns out that LUGNET stores your
posting email address outside of your normal user profile.
Remember that you need to authorize any email address you wish to use for
posting separately?
It looks like you are posting through the web interface. If you go to
http://news.lugnet.com/news/post/setup/
while signed in, you will still see your earthlink.net address listed there.
Please update that field to your current address as well - in the future, you
should be seeing the new email address appear in your posts.
This will, however, not necessarily affect previous posts of yours, the problem
being that the news system - like an email client - stores header information in
the individual post file, and this information is pulled again for display on
the web pages. For posting through NNTP or mail, this is the desired behavior.
For posting through the web, the corresponding headers are mimicked based on the
info you stored in the news setup page, otherwise the posts would not be handled
correctly in the NNTP system.
Regards,
Jerry
