New Settings:

Send= Private
Default-Options= Subjecthdr,Noack,Repro,Review

Now issue this command:

quiet set listname REVIEW for *@* PW=???????

If the Owner and Editors are subscribed, you'll want to issue these also:

quiet set listname NOREVIEW for [log in to unmask] PW=???????
quiet set listname NOREVIEW for [log in to unmask] PW=???????
quiet set listname NOREVIEW for [log in to unmask] PW=???????

I should also note that your Notebook= line is not correct. You need a
drive path to a separate directory for each list, something like:

Notebook= Yes,/usr/local/lsv/lists/listname,Monthly,Private
