I am  not sure what your  question is. You  already gave the answer.  Fix the
errors in the header  so that Listserv doesn't barf on them.  This is what is
probably hanging up your Listserv. I would  venture a guess that all three of
the lists on  your server have the same  sort of error in the  header. To get
around this, just get a header from any other list, anywhere, and use it as a
model for your lists' headers.  This should do you fine.
