No problem. I've attached my public key to this email.

Oops.  I must have clicked Reply instead of Reply List.  I'll send this

I may try to do that.  I'm at my computer most of my free time.

Funny it seems the AIM servers have been having this issue lately with
some other email lists I'm on.  I was almost removed from a list due to
excessive bounces our something.  I'm not familiar with DKIM or DMARC. 
You can also send to my personal email server at …n@m…  It
shouldn't have any problems.  I may eventually try to get spf/dkim/dmarc
checks set up.
