You do need to be a site manager to issue LISTS OWNED BY . 6.3. LISTSERV Maintainer Commands (...) Lists [option] Global All known lists, one line per list, sent as a (large!) file. Only LISTSERV maintainers may request this list, as it has become a favorite pastime of Internet mailbombers to issue LIST GLOBAL commands on behalf of users whose mailboxes they wish to bomb. You should direct users who request "the whole list of lists" to L-Soft's CataList service at the WWW URL http://www.lsoft.com/catalist.html. Starting with 1.8e, additional options available for site maintainers are OWNED BY internet_address Returns a list of local lists owned by the userid@host specified. Wildcards are acceptable. MODerated BY internet_address Returns a list of local lists moderated by the userid@host specified. Wildcards are acceptable.
