This is not true. If the user is on the list, and barring some drastic
action by the LISTSERV maintainer, his name is on file and the request
will be accepted. Even if the name is not on file, the request will still
be accepted if the name is in the mail headers. The only case where this
will not work is if the mail headers don't have any name, and the
LISTSERV maintainer deleted the registration file. And even in that case,
the user is sent instructions to correct the problem. The alternative
(telling the user to supply his name again) is worse, as many users will
type their e-mail address instead and get an error message.
I'll change the message to include the LISTSERV address.
