Then you obviously don't know how to do it wrong ;-)  I have truckloads
of AOL'ers on SJU's system who get along just fine.  What I see is a daily
trickle of blown "subscribe" commands that got to Listserv OK, but the
internal RFC822 "To:" is [log in to unmask]: with the trailing
colon.  One of my owners explained this as them using some utility that
built the subscribe request for them based on some message they extracted
from Listserv.  But I forget the details.
