It's 80 characters, I can see that being a danger number. It was all on one line when I sent the mail. Do you have any idea how I can tell whether it's my originating mailer that's chopping it up, or whether it's sendmail on the listserv node that's chopping it up?

I don't think the problem is the hypens. The problem is the Notebook information is on another line that is not defined as a list configuration. See here: * Notebook= Yes,/export/forums/listserv/home/lists/test-listserv,Monthly,Public This should be all on one line. -----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth Poole [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 2:49 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Extreme newbie list-create woes -- hyphen generates RFC822 error? The following list create mail died with the following error message. Here's the mail: PUT TEST-LISTSERV.LIST PW=XXXXXXX * * Sample list for testing * * Notebook= Yes,/export/forums/listserv/home/lists/test-listserv,Monthly,Public * Notify= Yes * Reply-to= List,Respect * Review= Public * Send= Public * Subscription= Open * Validate= No * * Owner= [log in to unmask] Here's the error message: Invalid RFC822 address - Yes,/export/forums/listserv/home/lists/test-listserv,Monthly,Public. Recipient ignored. -> * Notify= Yes Header lines must be grouped at the beginning of the file; they may not be interspersed with recipients. Note that you will get this message if you attempt to update a list you had retrieved via the REVIEW command. You must not do that because the subscribers' options would be lost in the process, and concealed subscribers would be silently removed from the list. Always use the GET command when you plan to update the list. PUT operation rejected, list has not been created. (end of cut and paste) The same list create mail worked as expected when I had the values TESTLIST and /testlist instead of TEST_LISTSERV and /test-listserv. This is something really obvious I'm missing, right?
