Unless I am grossly mistaken (please tell me if I am) you cannot use commands such as TELL LISTSERV AT... unless both your account and the listserv are on active BITNET nodes. It doesn't work from an Internet account (no, I haven't checked to see if you might have BITNET access). If what you have is Internet only, you can use only email to send your commands. I would be absolutely delighted for someone to tell me otherwise, as it can be a slow blankety blank pain in the whatever sometimes.
