LISTSERV parses at least the first line for things that look like
addresses, commands, etc.
Note the following words in the first line:
send mail to
some@where
the program obviously thought someone was trying to do something like
set listname nomail for some@where
this would be particularly true if it came from a listowner. I don't KNOW
if it is pickier on listowner input than it is on others, but it wouldn't
surprise me if Eric had done so.....to protect us from our selves.
dan, who has seen many listowners send commands to their own lists.
