As I understand it, there is exactly ONE set command:
   SET listname options

LISTOWNR MEMO does not place any restrictions on which options of the
SET command can be used by an Owner in conjunction with the
FOR userid@node option.  That MEMO is quite old, but I don't recall
any restrictions of that nature being added since.

I've seen a statement that went something like:  "Most common user
commands have a FOR userid@node operand for the use of Postmasters or
List Owners."  I can't seem to find that statement now, so it probably
isn't a direct quote.  But, basically, the rule I follow is:  Try it,
and see if it works.  Either it'll work just fine, or it'll complain
about an invalid operand.  It's extremely rare that you'll need to
worry about doing anything truly destructive.  One of the beautiful
things about LISTSERV is that it almost never does anything that's not
intuitively obvious.
