Here's your problem.  The BOTTOM_BANNER is supposed to be a sub-unit of
the file listname MAILTPL (in your case, it would be DOM_BIRD MAILTPL).
What you've done is PUT a file called DOM_BIRD.BOTTOM_BANNER, which
LISTSERV will not recognized.
 
If you don't already have a DOM_BIRD MAILTPL, you should simply change
the PUT line to
 
PUT DOM_BIRD MAILTPL PW=XXXXXXXX
 
You must also include a section heading for the bottom banner before the
text of the banner:
 
>>> BOTTOM_BANNER Bottom banner for list DOM_BIRD
 
You should take a look at chapter 9 of the List Owner's Manual where
this is discussed...Of course this all assumes that your list is running
on 1.8b.
