Bebo,
We had some unanticipated problems here too. The following is
straight from the source:

Keep in mind that your node is no longer known as SLACVM, but as
slacvm.slac.stanford.edu. I got screwed because I took LISTSERV
offline to update the tables (which included the :newnode tag).
Once the tables were rebuilt, I could not get it online.
TELL wouldn't work. Mail wouldn't work (remember, it's offline, it's
not reading/processing mail). Logging on and entering command from
the console didn't work. I wound up having to use the GLOBALV command
to reset the offline variable in LASTING GLOBALV.
If you're the LISTSERV postmaster, the authorized id is:
[log in to unmask], NOT [log in to unmask] That's why
all your commands are failing.
