As you discovered, unfortunately that isn’t a valid setting.  This is what I suggested you use:

This won’t affect any existing subscribers, so, if the mailing list already has members, you should go under ‘List Management’ to ‘LISTSERV Command’ and issue a

Combining the two setting given above into one, combining them with a slash, isn’t recognized by LISTSERV.
