No.  The method I described requires use of both LISTSERV Classic (not Lite)
and LSMTP Classic (not Lite) in order to activate Mail-Merge.  If you don't
have both of those programs, you can't do it that way.

The method Paul descibes (setting Full822) also is not available in LISTSERV
Lite.  And his method assumes use of one of several (unix-based) mailers that
will write the recipient's email address in the (normally hidden) Received:
headers pre-pended to the message.  Not all mailers do this so this may not be
a useful option.

I may be criticized for this, but I feel that the recipient bears some
resonsibility to provide a deliverable email address to subscribe to a list.
If their choice of ISP wants to be uncooperative regarding desired email, they
may need to "vote with their feet" and shift to another ISP who is more
cooperative.  Or they might read the list mail only by the www archives,
bypassing the email system entirely.  There are other possible solutions also.
