A list takes up the number of 'points' given in the following table:

   Subscribers        Points
   -----------        ------
       0-150             1
     151-300             2
     301-500             3
     501-1000            4
    1001-                5

This is only relevent if your LISTSERV license is a graduated license
(for instance a 5-point license would allow you to have one mailing
list with an unlimited number of subscribers, or several mailing
lists with a limited number of subscribers).
