See example: You have two choices: 1) register the nodes 2) send the request via mail with a fully qualified domain name in the headers. Since LISTSERV has no way of associating the FQDN with a NJE node name (it's not in BITEARN NODES, so it doesn't exist), it assumes that the address is ok. I'd do option 2 if I were you.
