You  may  want to  re-read  the  1.6e  release  notes from  the  LSTSRV-M
archives. LISTSERV does not tamper with  the address it is provided with,
it just knows how to recognize that  the address it got a command from is
equivalent to the one in the list/AFD/etc.

It  is  not  LISTSERV's  business to  arbitrarily  decide  that  internet
addresses are "better"  in all cases and for all  users, and to translate
BITNET-style  addresses to  internet ones  whenever possible.  Search the
NODMGT-L archives for  a long argument on this topic.  LISTSERV cannot be
told  to change  all occurences  of a  node to  its domain-style  address
either, but the users can always  signoff and re-register under their new
address.
