I wonder if there's a timeout configured somewhere, such that people that 
don't post for say three months get dropped to "inactive", such that the 
first message when trying to post again doesn't go thru.

People like me and presumably Anne, post to one kde list or another often 
enough we'd never see the problem, but you (Gene) seems to go several 
months between posts, then posts when something comes up.  Your inactive 
period between problems might be just long enough to trigger such a 
timeout, if it exists. =:^\

I don't know, but it might explain...  Of course the other possibility 
(normally the most likely if a user types in the address manually and 
typoes or has several addresses and tries the wrong one) is posting from 
a different (unsubscribed) address part of the time, but that's something 
only you and possibly the list admin (if it logs rejections) could verify.
