Ulrich, Try using ADD yourlist-l [log in to unmask] * PW=whatever ^ instead. The "*" means "no name available". If LISTSERV already knows someone's name, it fills in the name for you. Otherwise it leaves it blank (or as <no name available> or some such). This also works in bulk add jobs. --Jeff B. > >ADD yourlist-l [log in to unmask] Name Unknown > > be careful. i've done this in the past and the result was, that > the SIGNUP FILEx was updated with the new 'real-name', which means > that all added users became the 'real-name' Joe User ;-) > (including myself). > > -ulrich-
