Andrew,

I just posed this question myself to L-Soft last month. Their official
stance is, no, wa & listserv have to be on the same system.

However, I did devise a work-around that allows me to bend the rules. My
solution might well work for you, too, at least if you're running things
on a Unix system (or maybe on Windows, even, but I'd have no idea how).

The wa cgi program sends requests to the listserv daemon over a socket
at TCP port 2306. It expects that the daemon is running on the same
server, and there is no way to reconfigure it (I asked about a
/etc/lsv-wa.config setting, but was told there isn't one).

What I did is this: I created an ssh tunnel from my web server host to
my LISTSERV host that passes port 2306 from one machine to the other.
Simply run this command on your web server machine:

~ ssh -L 2306:listserv-host:2306 -T -N listserv-host

Where listserv-host is the hostname of the machine that you're running
the listserv on. When wa connects to port 2306 on your mail host, it
will transparently be forwarded to port 2306 on your listserv machine.

Of course, you'll need to add a startup script to restart the port
forward on reboots.

BTW, this worked for me, but I stress this this is not a supported
configuration, so caveat emptor.

Good luck!
Bill

P.S. Not all Unix OSes ship with SSH (and the one that comes with
Solaris 9 doesn't play well with non-Sun versions of SSH, so I don't use
it). You can download the source for OpenSSH from the official web site,
www.openssh.org.
