Well, the obvious answer is your 'helpful' mailer is wrapping the line
which causes to error, so turn off line-wrap.

There is also another way to format the command:

//JOB PW=xxxxxxx
ADD listname veryveryveryveryverylooooooooooooooooong@address Fname Lname
//EOJ

PW=xxxx is not needed unless you have Validate=yes

The better method however is probably to turn off line wrap in your mailer
and other commands can be screwed up if lines are wrapped.
