O.k., I shall not insist on dumping the job ! :-)
I asked if it was possible for LISTSERV to warn me for a wrong password,
which was not required. Apparently that is not possible.....(see above)
But couldn't LISTSERV warn me that the password will not be checked,
because it is superfluous (remember: Validate=Store-Only). As an
owner of xx lists I cannot remember which list has a Validate=All-commands.
 
Thanks in anticipation
and kind regards,
