OK, beginner question time -- Did you GET/modify/PUT the <listname>
FILELIST to include the <listname> MAILFORM file?  If not, then you need
to use (PUTC on your LSVPUT command so LISTSERV ignores checking for
whether a file is 'known'.

The <listname> WELCOME should *definitely* be included in the <listname>
FILELIST.   Send [log in to unmask] the command:
 
get lsvowner package lsvowner
 
for more information.
