I would have to see the actual email you sent to LISTSERV to diagnose 
this. I would suspect that your email client is wrapping the 
DISTRIBUTE command so that the FROM= is ending up on a different line 
than the DISTRIBUTE, but there could be some other syntax error. 
(This is why I strongly recommend Maestro, as it takes care of the 
syntax for you).

Well, the address has to exist (otherwise you'll be labeled as a 
spammer), but that's about it if you don't need LISTSERV to do your 
bounce processing for you.

All the RFC822 headers such as Subject:, Date:, To:, and From: need 
to be defined in the DATA portion of the DISTRIBUTE job.

I assume you're referring to the "Sending MIME Messages in 
LISTSERV(R) DISTRIBUTE Jobs" White Paper at:

http://www.lsoft.com/resources/wp-mime-dist.pdf

That only shows the DATA portion of the DISTRIBUTE job, not the whole 
DISTRIBUTE job. Section 3 of the LISTSERV Developer's manual 
describes the whole DISTRIBUTE job format. Note that the DISTRIBUTE 
command needs to be all on one line or else the continutation syntax 
needs to be used.
