Listserv mailing list names are at most 8 characters in length, on some
systems.  Yet, I have heard there is an alias mechanism to have a 2nd
longer name that is then somehow associated with the shorter name.  Either
name can be used by subscribers.
 
Is this true, and if so how is it set up?  I am not an expert at all, so
please give me the details...   For example, if I wanted my mailing list
'Prostate' (8 characters) to have an alias of Prostate-Cancer, how might
that be done?
 
Thanks... I really appreciate any help that is given.
 
Kevin
