It's certain he was referring to ListProc, and he *should* be calling it
ListProc, and this *is* the wrong list for his question. On the other hand
it's understandable he made this mistake, because ListProc versions 6.0b
and earlier were confusingly called "Listserv". 6.0c was the first to be
called ListProc; in fact, there were no features in 6.0c, only a new name,
and many sites didn't upgrade. He probably doesn't even know about the
competition between the two ... so don't be *too* hard on the guy :-).

Mmm, well, prefixing From's, if the recipient's mailer requires it, is the
recipient system's responsibility, not the sender's. It's a Unixism (i.e.
mbox format) that mail programs depend on "\nFrom " delimiting messages,
and when we talk to others we shouldn't pre-mangle their mail assuming they
run Unix. In fact, not even all Unix mail programs use mbox format (MH for
example), and Sendmail can therefore be configured to insert ">"'s or not,
as necessary. (Usually the >'s are added only when delivering to an mbox
file, for example, not to a program.) You could even say that his mail
system would be broken only if it *were* prefixing the From's on outbound
mail -- I would :-). Mark, if you are using a mail filter, check that *it*
is set to add the >'s. Just a guess :-)

P.S. about the original question: the right list is [log in to unmask]
Subscribe by sending mail to [log in to unmask] And the *answer* to the
question is that ListProc 6 generates "HELO"'s that don't include a
hostname, something Sendmail used to tolerate but no longer does. Telling
ListProc it is talking to Zmailer will take care of the problem. This is
in the Sendmail 8.7 readme ...
