2 things may be an issue here.

1.  From LISTSERV ver 15.0 onward, passwords are case sensitive.  Passwords
created in older versions were stored internally in all UPPER case.  So there
could be a case mismatch in the supplied password.

2.  The length of the line (after the real address, firstname, and lastname
plus password may be long enough that the line is wrapped by your email
client, forcing the password to the next line.  This would be read by LISTSERV
as an 'add command' without any password, which would produce this error.
