From everything I have been able to find in the various manuals, in order for a person to sign up for a LISTSERV list either a) LISTSERV must be able to derive the "real world" name of a subscriber from their email header, or b) the subscriber must supply a full name (ie. SUBSCRIBE list-name full-name). As I posted earlier, a few months ago I turned notification on so that I could see who joins or leaves. I had one today where a subscriber from AOL subscribed without providing a name. I ran a scan and looked and found four other AOL subscribers with "no name available". I am beginning to think this "problem" is somehow connected with AOL, but I don't have enough knowledge to make a definitive analysis. Do any of you have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.
