I am not sure what your question is. You already gave the answer. Fix the
errors in the header so that Listserv doesn't barf on them. This is what is
probably hanging up your Listserv. I would venture a guess that all three of
the lists on your server have the same sort of error in the header. To get
around this, just get a header from any other list, anywhere, and use it as a
model for your lists' headers. This should do you fine.
