A paragraph from the 1.7b announcement. "The effects of a SERVE OFF command from the LISTSERV postmaster are now permanent - only a SERVE ON command by a postmaster will restore access to the user. In other words, it is no longer possible for a user who has been banned by a LISTSERV postmaster to restore his access himself, using someone else's account. Apart from the obvious benefits when dealing with malicious users, it ensures that disabled gateways are not inadvertently re-enabled by well-meaning end-user who do not understand all the implications their attempt."
