Thanks to the following members who helped shed light on the problems I was having with interacting with LISTSERV: Listserv Admin Christopher Barbot Valdis Kletnieks. The problem, indeed, was with AOL spam filter. All other members of the list had no problems with receiving or sending their mail. I had to change my fspam filter from AOL to allow all. Valdis, I did not understand the file you sent what could i do with it? In my frustration i sent command PW RESET, would this change the password I use as list administrator? Thanks again James Kilat Acholinet Admin
