That's not true. The web interface sends commands to LISTSERV to get
it's work done. The fact that it does it by talking directly to
LISTSERV over TCP/IP rather than by sending emails does not make any
difference. LISTSERV receives the same commands and processes them
exactly the same. It has separate code for *receiving* the commands
via TCP/IP vs. SMTP, but it's the exact same code that processes them.


My guess about the addresses that had "[concealed]" tacked on to
their name but where the addresses were not actually concealed is
that someone did a REVIEW ALL and used the results to repopulate the
list in a bulk add.
