Or she used the SUBSCRIBE command by accident (as opposed to ADD) to add that user to a list.

Sounds like she may have issued the following command:

REGISTER Wrong Name

without appending “FOR [log in to unmask]”. 

If the “FOR” part is missing, the command issuer’s own name is changed in LISTSERV’s internal of default names.



She should issue “REGISTER Right Name” and see if the issue clears up.

When she receives error reports from the lists they are addressed to her email, but the display name is that of another person, who is a subscriber to a couple of the lists. The owner finds this disturbing, and so do I, as I can't track down what's causing it. I've examined the subscriber information for the owner in all lists of which she is a member (as well as the info for the person whose name is incorrectly appearing next to the owner's email address), and I've checked the configuration of every list for which she is the owner. All look fine. The oddball name doesn't show up anywhere. Can anyone help me find out where this mismatch is originating?
