} I have a question about the response you get when someone is added to a
} list.  The question is where does Listserv get the name for the email address.
} For example.  "You have been added to the Deb-List mailing list by Teresa
} <[log in to unmask]>."  Where is it pulling the name Teresa and how do I change
} that?

The REGISTER command.

Not sure where it is stored.  I think it is picked up from the "From:"
line of the subscribe email, i.e.

  From: Teresa <[log in to unmask]>

To change it, send mail to Listserv from [log in to unmask]  No subject or
signature.  Plain text only.  In the body:

  REGister full_name

where "full_name" is replaced by the name you want Listserv to know
[log in to unmask] as.  This setting is server wide, not for an individual
list.
