Sure, this can be done... What I had thought of is the following: create a
list on a central LISTSERV site, owned by all the 'official' relay accounts,
with Review= Owner (I'd have to check review can be set to 'owner', but if it's
not, it's because I have forgotten to replace the internal test by a call to
the new LSVALLOW routine :-) ), Send= Owner, Notify= No. The relays would then
automatically issue a "QUIET ADD" to add the guy to the list upon receipt of a
/SIGNUP command. The list password would be unknown to the relayops so that no
relayop can change the header, and Validate= Store only. That would provide a
list of all relay users in the world :-) The central LISTSERV userid could
have class 4 privs on all relays and a command could be sent to it to lock out
the guy on ALL the relay sites :-) I plan to add a "$" command to the next ver-
sion of LISTSERV to give every site the ability to implement local commands
without having to modify LSVCMD every time they get a new version: any command
starting with "$" would be forwarded to LSV$CMD EXEC which might or might not
accept it...
Any comments before I leave? :-)
Eric
