Hi.  I recently started (with the assistance of others) the ACTNOW-L
list.  For subscriptions we've asked all persons to format the SUB
command with their real name, followed by a "/", followed by the
name of their organization:
 
David B. O'Donnell / ListMaint
 
The problem - somehow - seems to be that LISTSERV won't always let me
change the name parameters!  I reset some local subscribers today, having
no problem at all adding the SP / SP <organization>.  Yet when I tried
to add an internet address subscription, LISTSERV balked at the "/". So
I tried to add the account with its BITNET address -- and got the same
error!
 
Has anyone else had this problem?  If you have, and have solved it, please
contact me directly as I am not currently subscribed to LSTOWN-L.
 
Thanks for your assistance.
 
Virtually,
David B. O'Donnell -- Owner, [log in to unmask];
