Eric also pointed out to me that my "bulk add" using "QUIET ADD listname
DD=whaever" shouldn't work with Validate= ...,NoPW. (Very nicely: "are you
*sure*?", he said :-) ) It's true, using a DD doesn't work at this "highest
available level of security," which is actually the reason I settled for
passwords alone on my list. (Here's the problem, as I guessed when I first
ran into it, and as confirmed by Eric's mail. When LISTSERV gets a command
that requires confirmation, it sends out the magic-cookie message and saves
the command to run it when the cookie is returned. However, LISTSERV
*doesn't* save the associated DD file. So, when you do confirm a command
referencing a DD, LISTSERV will complain that the DD is missing.) I should
have made a note of that ...
Well, I'm sure the original poster has plenty of things to try *now* :-)
