Jack,
We have a script which puts the needed job commands before and after the
list of addresses and sends it by email to Listserv. The "From: " address
has to be a list owner, of course. Here are the instructions which I sent
recently to someone who wanted to adapt the script:
Send mail to: [log in to unmask]
It should be from: [log in to unmask]
The body:
quiet add LISTNAME DD=ddname import pw=lsvmaintpw
//ddname DD *
[log in to unmask] English Name
[log in to unmask] English Name
[log in to unmask]
...
[log in to unmask] English Name
