Documented Restriction: Note that LISTSERV's mail merge functionality 
REQUIRES the use of LSMTP Classic as the outgoing MTA. Mail merge does not 
work with LSMTP Lite, sendmail, qmail, Post.Office, Netscape Mail Server, 
Microsoft Exchange, PMDF, MX, or any other MTA except L-Soft's LSMTP 
Classic mailer.

We don't have LSMTP
