Something like that, and it made me wonder how, let me explain.
If I click the contact link at the bottom of this page it shows forum(at)fudforum(dot)org as the addy; now that makes sense to me because I know FUDforum has Multiple Admins just as it has multiple moderators.
Yet when I receive a notification of a reply it comes from forum(at)prohost(dot)org which also makes sense to me because I recognize it as the forums e-mail client.
With "wittrs" (and yes I read some of the articles and listened to some of the lectures, and found them of interest even though I had to look up Wittgenstein to understand), after I registered I noticed that the contact e-mail for the admin and the notification/confirmation e-mails were the same. And I found that confusing, but I recalled this thread which really didn't clarify it for me any better.
In your response above I read "admin addy" and "YOUR email" as being one and the same, and "list email" being the "yahoo group" which is a feed to the "Wittrs Email Feed" forum group which in turn feeds replies back to the "yahoo group" again using the admin addy as the forum e-mail client.... That is if I understand correctly.
So there lies my confusion, I have long thought of the admin addy as a direct email to the admin. "Administrator E-mail: Email address of the forum administrator." and the forums email client "Notify From: The email address that all of the forum-generated email, such as notifications and welcome messages, should be sent as. This MUST be a valid email address that you have access to." as the source of all forum notifications etc.
If there is a fundamental flaw in my thinking/understanding I would like to know, likewise if there is no difference I would like to understand that as well.
Thanks
