All the macro did was concatenate "add listname " + emailaddress + " * pw=
mypassword"
to all record in one field (emailaddress field) and saved it in another.  I
then exported the field out to an ASCII text file.

I created the password several days prior (using the PW ADD command) and I
used my own personal password versus using the list password.

Nothing in the logs about errors - here they are: (If it would help I'll
send you the entire logs - I would get killed if posted the entire files -
this post is long enough)
Here's part of the actual command list email sent to Listserv (email names +
my password were changed to protect the innocent):
 
ADD warrior-l [log in to unmask] * PW= mypassword
ADD warrior-l [log in to unmask] * PW= mypassword
add warrior-l [log in to unmask] * PW= mypassword
add warrior-l [log in to unmask] * PW= mypassword
 
Here's part of the log I received back from Listserv:
 
> ADD warrior-l [log in to unmask] *
"(No Name)" <[log in to unmask]> has been added to the WARRIOR-L
list. Notification has been sent to [log in to unmask]
 
> ADD warrior-l [log in to unmask] *
"(No Name)" <[log in to unmask]> has been added to the WARRIOR-L list.
Notification has been sent to [log in to unmask]
 
> add warrior-l [log in to unmask] *
Invalid password supplied. Acceptable passwords are: your personal password
(obtained through the  "PW ADD" command) and the password  of the WARRIOR-L
list. If  you have forgotten  your password, send  a "PW RESET"  command to
reset  it   or,  if   this  fails,   contact  the   LISTSERV  administrator
([log in to unmask]) for assistance.

Yes, why?  Don't tell me a NT program can't run off NTFS properly.
