For all that I know, there may be a permanent way to either make an alias
address from XYZ to PQR or to have Listserv generate a message saying
"There is no more XYZ, use address PQR" but I wouldn't know; you must ask
your Listserv coordinator about that (and if he doesn't know, he should
ask LSTSRV-L).
 
For now, you can delete all XYZ subscribers if you hadn't already done so
( QUIET DELETE XYZ *@* but be careful -- this is an irretrievable step!),
then add PQR@nodename as the sole subscriber, and then change your control
file header so that Subscription= Closed and perhaps also Confidential=
Yes .
