Pete Weiss's suggestion  about  // eoj  is  the classic.  The  very  newest
builds also  stop  processing commands once    they hit a  "--" line;  they
continue  to echo the lines back  in the response,  but don't process them.
On the  other hand, LISTSERV's pretty graceful  about  processing the lines
anyway ... you get up to ten error messages and then it stops, but it still
does your work for you.  The only concern is  if you .signature has a valid
command in it.

That would be  your mail system, not  LISTSERV.  Are you  sending/receiving
mail at the same host at which lsv is running?  Is Sendmail set up to queue
by default?  (These are just to get you started -- if you want to follow up
you should do it either with me  privately or on comp.mail.sendmail, 'cause
it's not really a LISTSERV issue :-) )
