Dear LstOwn-L...
I am a listserv (AIX, 1.8b) maintainer and just set up the following list today:
*
* PRGRMMR-L For those who program for SIUC students
*
* This is a discussion list for those within the SIUC
* community who plan, prepare, and conduct programming
* for SIUC students.
*
* Review= Private Subscription= Open Send= Private
* Notify= Yes Reply-To= List,Respect Files= Yes
* Validate= No Stats= Normal,Private Confidential=No
* Notebook= Yes,/home/listserv/home,Monthly,Private
*
* Owner= [log in to unmask] (David Shinn)
*
When the list owner issues an ADD he gets the following:
>L-Soft list server at SIUC (1.8b) wrote:

The list owner specifically asked me prior to setting up the list
to make sure he doesn't have to specify "ok" for every ADD that he
makes. I told him *that* only applies when the ",Confirm" parm is
added to the Subscription option on the list header. And there is
no ",Confirm" parm in sight.
But, when *I* add someone to his list, I *don't* get the "ok" confirmation.
It just goes ahead and subscribes the person, thus:

Why is *he* having to send ok's, while listserv is letting *me* add without
confirmation?
TIA,
Adam
