Has anyone tried doing a mass subscription import (300+) into Listserv using
the ADD command and gotten weird results (like Listserv forgetting your
personal password)?
 
In one email, I would send to Listserv in the following format (spit out by
my database program):
 
Add listname [log in to unmask] * PW= mypassword
Add listname [log in to unmask] * PW= mypassword
Add listname [log in to unmask] * PW= mypassword
....
Add listname [log in to unmask] * PW= mypassword
Add listname [log in to unmask] * PW= mypassword
....
 
relevant settings:
 
Verify= yes
Notify= no
 
After sending it to listserv, the reply would come back saying user1 to
user299 were subscribed but user300 (I'm not sure on the exact numbering)
and everyone afterwards could not be added because of an invalid password
(the log says the same thing).  I know the password isn't wrong because I
used to same macro to spit out the above strings.  So I try to find out from
Listserv what it had for my password.  Well it came back and said that there
wasn't a password for me!  So I added/created my password again.  This
occurs everytime I send large lists (so I chopped them into millions of
smaller lists - a REAL PAIN).  I'm running a P90 NT server with 16MB (I know
the 16MB is minimum but there is plenty of hard drive for the swap/page file
).
 
Anyone else having this problem?  Any other problems other users should be
aware of?
 
Thanks,
 
Huy
