Yes I was wrong, it is RESET-COOKIE, not RESET_COOKIE but the above also won't
work because in this special case the name of the wa.exe is also different:

 http://listserv.surfnet.nl/scripts/wa-surfnet.exe?RESET-COOKIE

Why is it different?  It's a long technical answer but this is a node we provide
virtual hosting at L-Soft for this customer and in order to differentiate
between the various virtual LISTSERV setups we have we must rename the wa.exe so
we don't have 30 wa.exe running under the exact same name.  

For most sites not doing virtual hosting it will be wa.exe, but some sites
rename it anyway.  On the otherhand, if you have a cookie already set for any
particular site, you will just have to use the URL that you already have
bookmarked, since it will be correct for that site.  Various sites rename the
host, and others rename the scripts directory.  You have to use what is correct
for that site.
