If you have a file called BOGUS-NAME-U.LIST you can use it to replace the corrupt list. The easiest way to do this with your Listserv up and running is to "get" that file, then "PUT BOGUS_NAME_U.LIST px=xxx" via email. Then look at your Listserv log to repeat the changes that were made to that list since the old version was created.
