It seems that if they sign up individually they can send/rec ok. It's 
the people that I mass inserted that are not working. I had one try to 
see if there was anything in the list and this is what I was told they got:

I don't get why they are "non" members. I can't find anything that talks 
about this on the list config.

Any tips are apprecaited.
