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...
