As far as I am aware, there is no LISTSERV one-line command to change addresses. There are various non-1-line commands, but then you need to do things with Xedit, or some sort of PIPES. Too bad those sysadmins could not make use of various DNS facilities to provide a transition e.g., MX or perhaps CNAME. Maybe you could have an _ad hoc_ ROADMAP exercise of having users identify who their sysadmins are and expressing their appreciation for all that they do (or don't do, as the case may be). Of course any flames could back-fire. Likewise, you could enumerate the roles of the various positions involved in e-mail delivery: postmaster hostmaster listserv-manager list-owner network-operator help-desk LAN administrator sender receiver director -- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L [log in to unmask] "Spam-lite, is it Kosher?" s/me +1 814 863 1843 31 Shields Bldg. -- Penn State Univ -- University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA
