The problem is that this command all has to be on one line:
>DISTRIBUTE MAIL-MERGE PW=gabouer DBMS=YES(EMAIL=SenderAddress)
>[log in to unmask]
It sounds like it is being split onto two separate lines:
>DISTRIBUTE MAIL-MERGE PW=gabouer
and
>DBMS=YES(EMAIL=SenderAddress) [log in to unmask]
which LISTSERV then tries to interpret as two separate commands.
You can use the 'continuation card' syntax described at the beginning
of Chapter 6 of the Site Manager's Manual to get around this problem:
// DISTRIBUTE MAIL-MERGE PW=xxxxxx ,
DBMS=YES(EMAIL=... etc ...
The '//' and ',' on the first line tell LISTSERV to consider the
second line a continuation of the first. Both the space after the
'//' and the space before the final ',' on the first line are
required for this to work.
