You should only edit ~listserv/go.user.  It is not safe to edit
~listserv/home/sitecfg.file as this file is maintained by LISTSERV and has a
specific format which is not documented and which you may not understand.

Changes via the www interface go into ~listserv/home/sitecfg.file but since
LISTSERV is writing that file it knows how to do it correctly.

In all cases (changes via go.user or via www interface) you must restart the
LISTSERV process for the changes to take effect.  If you make changes via
the www interface there is a handy 'button' you can click on to do this.  If
you edit go.user, then you need to restart from the command line.

Also, when editing string variables in go.user don't forget to 'export' that
variable name.
