A few weeks ago I raised this issue and Dennis Hickman sent a complete
copy of what the list owner gets when Subscription = By Owner.  On
rereading it I have one question ...

The message has both of these items in it (taken from Dennis's example
posted here):

> You   can,  at   your   discretion,  send   the   following  command to
> [log in to unmask] to add this person to the list:
>
> ADD CETEFL-L [log in to unmask] Irene Lavingxxx

And:

> // EOJ

Are these two different ways of doing the same thing, or is the latter
part intended to expand on the former?  If I simply send the ADD command
without the JOB syntax, what happens?  Does Listserv assume it is OK
because it came from the owner's email address (in which case a spoofed
From: line would fool it)?  Reject it because it does not have the job
syntax?  Or accept it with, or without, confirmation back to me?

Thanks ...
