A paragraph from the 1.7b announcement.
 
 
 
"The effects of a SERVE OFF command from the  LISTSERV postmaster are now
permanent - only  a SERVE ON command by a  postmaster will restore access
to the user. In other words, it is  no longer possible for a user who has
been banned by a LISTSERV postmaster to restore his access himself, using
someone else's account. Apart from the obvious benefits when dealing with
malicious users, it ensures that  disabled gateways are not inadvertently
re-enabled  by  well-meaning  end-user  who do  not  understand  all  the
implications their attempt."
