It's "Digest=" rather than "Digests=", but otherwise the syntax is
correct.

Assuming you did write "Digest=", it would be a bug. Note that simply
changing the keyword will not send the digest immediately. You'd have to
post a new message, and then it should be sent.

This is controlled by a site-customizable exit, which is shipped with the
initial installation kit and then never updated, to avoid overwriting
local changes. Since 1986 the default exit changed 3-4 times, and each
had its own set of rules of accepting or rejecting passwords. You can
just stick "Exit 0" at the top of LSV$PW EXEC to have it accept password
additions at all times.

Actually, it is LMail that converts the SMTP code to the LISTSERV
delivery error format. 550, 551 and 553 are permanent errors. 554 is
temporary. But, of course, some systems use 550 for everything...
