I also just found out that if I don't run the process in the background I get an interface that allows me to type in one-line commands that get sent to me as POSTMASTER. > Are you working only with one list or all lists on the server?

The problem with bounced messages being sent to the sender is happening on all lists, so yes I'm dealing with all the lists. I have put myself as POSTMASTER in go.user and added that email address with password to the system, but I still haven't found that magical knob which controls the behavior we're seeing. > You really need to look at the documentation, such as the List Owner's Quick > Start Manual at http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/index.html I'm reading them as I type this. I'm reading them as fast as I can. Unfortunately telling my friend's customers that I'm reading the docs and they'll just have to wait until I'm done would only fan the flames which is why I asked here.
