Ah ha! She owns 7 lists. They are all set to send=editor except two which she is a member of. The one below is set to send=private,confirm. This is the one that was ok after she subscribed herself.  Could that be the issue?

This is the message she received

A "user unknown" message sounds like a bounce from a bad subscriber address to me.  If she were actually not allowed to post to the list, LISTSERV would have sent an error that stated she was not allowed to post, not a "user unknown" message.  Perhaps you should post the actual message that she received.

I have a listowner who got a rejection message “user unknown”  when trying to post to her list (she is owner). The list is set to send= private,confirm.  I looked at her list and noticed she was not subscribed. I directed her to how to subscribe, she subscribed and all was ok…except she tells me she has several other lists and is not subscribed and has had no issues sending. I checked archives and she is correct. What am I missing? I thought one has to be subscribed to send to a private list even though she owner.
