Steve,

At the top of the list header you received in the e-mail, the command for PUT should be there.  Start a reply to the message, substitute your Listserv site password in place of the x's after "PW=", and delete the "List-Address" line.  Now, send the reply back to your server.  That should do it.  The Listserv List Owner's manual covers the process in detail.

Melissa

Melissa, I obviously plead ignorance. I manage to get the configuration sent to my email and see where he has added the "List_address". Can you give me the exact command? Thanks again.

>I've seen this a few times.  A list owner has probably added the "List-Address" keyword to their header.  Once they do that, you can't see the list in the web user interface (at least you can't in version 14.5.)  The only way I know of to change it back is to use the e-mail interface and GET the header with the "GET listname (HEADER" command.  Delete the "List-Address" keyword and PUT the header back.

>I have the following in a problem call that I received. I mostly just set up the lists and give access. I did not know this could be done by a list owner or even an administrator very easily. Can someone possibly tell me how he did this and if I can "change" the name of the list back? Thanks.
