For most LISTSERV commands you can add the '-- ' (see example below) to tell
LISTSERV to breakoff and ignore the rest of message.  I would try this technique
(including modifying the virus sweeper tag line if necessary).  However,
generally the PUT command treats all contents after the PUT line, as "valid
content" so this may not work.

Note also the preferred method is to create the list first (which can be done
via the WWW interface) and then load the subscribers separately which can also
be done via the WWW interface or via a an email bulk-add command whose syntax
will exclude consideration of the virus sweeper footer msg.
