LISTSERV should be able to handle email addresses 44 characters long
(which is what you're describing) without a problem.  What kind of
errors are you seeing?

>as well as their  First and Last name which need to be there for the "add".

Actually you can put an * in place of the name.  However, even if the
email address is very long LISTSERV shouldn't reject an ADD or
SUBSCRIBE command based on the length of the name.

Thanks,
