   You don't have to delete the list nor convince Listserv of anything.
Just send the headers back again (in the same way you created the list
in the first place--remembering to specify the passwd) including the PUT
command line, after editing the owner=to reflect the new address change.
 
On the other hand, if you did not create the list (or have permission)
you must contact the listserv postmaster to do this for you.  This would
be the only way, unless...umm...you know how to fudge mail.  I would
recommend contacting the listserv postmaster or node administrator to
do this for you.  If for some reason you did not want to do this, it
has been my unfortunate experience that listserv will accept the
address [log in to unmask] if you contact that person...and if
there is such a userid.  I ran into this problem with our NOVELL
servers...for which there is no postmaster or node admin userids...
