[GreenKeys] final test -- not getting your own posts?

Several years ago I was having a perennial problem with several but
strangely not all of the QTH.net lists that I was subscribed to.  Once or
twice a month, I would get a message from one of the lists saying that I was
about to be unsubscribed from that list for either bouncing messages or
marking them as SPAM, I can't recall which today.  I don’t recall how I
learned the solution but probably I mentioned the problem and someone
replied with it.  Anyway, one afternoon I explicitly logged in to QTH.net,
made a list of all of the lists I was subscribed to, and went to each in
turn turning off the copy of anything I sent and turning on an ACK message
from the server that a post to such and such list had been received.  99 and
44/100ths percent of the time, that's all that you need anyway.  That put a
stop to the unsubscribe threats and if I forget to delete the ACK message,
it is just about as small as any message could be.

Anyway, you might try that.
