Well, I think there are two problems. 1) I think you didn't run 'newaliases' after adding the aliases for listtrain-l, and 2) you didn't make the aliases correctly to begin with. You need to look at either the unix installation guide for LISTSERV (found at http://www.lsoft.com/unixinst.html ) or 7.2.1 of the site manager's manual ( http://www.lsoft.com/manuals ) for the proper syntax. They ought to be something like listtrain-l: |/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /projects/list/spool listtrain-l instead of what you have. Alternately you can make the aliases by running the 'make list name=xxx' stage of the LISTSERV Makefile and substituting the name of your list (in lower case) for 'xxx'. Nathan
