I have installed LISTSERV and am trying to create my first list
so that I can try out various related LISTSERV commands.  I have
not been successful and need some help.
 
I created a dummy userid id, LISTB.  Using a postmaster's id, I
also created a file, LISTB LIST, with header information for the
list.  I used LSVPUT, was prompted for a password, and replied
with LISTSERV's CREATEPW.  The LASTING GLOBALV file was generated
and had information concerning this.  I then used LSVPUT a second
time, was prompted for a password, and replied with the password
for the list.  LASTING GLOBALV had information for this.  I then
tried to SUBSCRIBE to LISTB and got the following messages:
 
    * List LISTB is unknown to [log in to unmask]  Your request
    * is being forwarded to the nearest backbone server,
    * [log in to unmask]
 
I looked at LISTSERV's 191 and saw nothing related to LISTB.
 
What am I doing wrong, or what else do I need to do?  What will I
need to do to use this list?
 
Thanks for all your help.  Please respond to me at [log in to unmask]
