As I said in another thread, Evolution does not have aliases. It also
has no concept of "sub-addresses". It has accounts. Each account has to
be set up with the appropriate authentication mechanism or it won't
work.

In that regard, the account with which you are subscribed to this list
is EvolutionEmail cwm030 com. Please avoid using any other account when
posting to the list.
