My list's messages are being accepted by AOL, but confirmation request
messages are being bounced, meaning that no one can subscribe.

I assume this is the same problem that's been under discussion, but because
it's been directed solely at sysadmins, and not listowners (what's the name
of this list again?) I have no clear idea of what to do about it. Is there
a way the WU listmanager can reconfigure confirmation request messages so
that they are accepted in the same way that the WU list messages are, or
would a change have to be made at Princeton? LISTSERV distribution at WU
is, at long last, almost ready to leave Bitnet. Is there a way of
determining if this AOL change is going to screw us?
So far, it appears as though AOL has told everyone to stuff it, and Eric ...
well, it's predictable. He's not going to do something because AOL, or
anyone else for that matter, told him to. I don't believe the response from
AOL has been in the best interests of their customers. Is there a good
contact someone can suggest for AOL subscribers of LISTSERV lists to
complain to?
