A few weeks ago I raised this issue and Dennis Hickman sent a complete copy of what the list owner gets when Subscription = By Owner. On rereading it I have one question ... The message has both of these items in it (taken from Dennis's example posted here): > You can, at your discretion, send the following command to > [log in to unmask] to add this person to the list: > > ADD CETEFL-L [log in to unmask] Irene Lavingxxx And: > PS: In order to facilitate the task, this message has been > specially formatted so that you only need to forward it back to > [log in to unmask] and fill in the password below to have the command > executed. Note that while the formats produced by the forwarding > function of most mail packages are supported, replying will seldom > work, so make sure to forward and not reply. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > // JOB PW=XXXXXXXX > ADD CETEFL-L [log in to unmask] Irene Lavingxxx > // EOJ Are these two different ways of doing the same thing, or is the latter part intended to expand on the former? If I simply send the ADD command without the JOB syntax, what happens? Does Listserv assume it is OK because it came from the owner's email address (in which case a spoofed From: line would fool it)? Reject it because it does not have the job syntax? Or accept it with, or without, confirmation back to me? Thanks ... ----- Tom Rawson [log in to unmask]
