Hmm.. 41? That's plausible. Note that Listserv needs to fit the
address, the 'fullname', and some number of flags into 100 characters
total.
To the Listserv guys: Note that RFC1123, section 2.1, says:
Host software MUST handle host names of up to 63 characters and
SHOULD handle host names of up to 255 characters.
That's just to the right of the '@' - you need to allow room on the
left too ;)
