Recap: New install of LMail, list mail forwarded to LISTSERV was rejected
with "No such list" error.

After all the back and forth regarding configuration, the solution turned
out to be quite simple. Although I had issued the "SET LIST" command as
suggested in the LMail documentation, all of my lists had aliases
(list-id) that did not match the actual eight character name defined in
VM. Issuing a SET FORWARD for the list-id resolved the problem:

SET LIST FOR 8-char-name
SET FORWARD [log in to unmask] FOR list-id

I don't know why LISTSERV didn't make the connection between list name and
alias but I suppose it has something to do with the way LMail re-writes
the message. In my defense, I couldn't find any mention of list-id in the
LMail documentation.

Which brings me to why I posted so much of this dialog to the list. Before
posting to the list, I always search the list archive to see if my
questions have already been addressed. I find very little VM-specific
information and what is there, is quite old. So, in posting to the list,
I'm hoping other VMers new to LISTSERV/LMail (should there be any) can
avoid the same mistakes that I made.

Many thanks to Eric for his quick responses and patience in reviewing my
voluminous posts. Thanks also to other list members who posted tips and
suggestions that lead me in the right direction.
