I have installed LISTSERV and am trying to create my first list so that I can try out various related LISTSERV commands. I have not been successful and need some help. I created a dummy userid id, LISTB. Using a postmaster's id, I also created a file, LISTB LIST, with header information for the list. I used LSVPUT, was prompted for a password, and replied with LISTSERV's CREATEPW. The LASTING GLOBALV file was generated and had information concerning this. I then used LSVPUT a second time, was prompted for a password, and replied with the password for the list. LASTING GLOBALV had information for this. I then tried to SUBSCRIBE to LISTB and got the following messages: * List LISTB is unknown to [log in to unmask] Your request * is being forwarded to the nearest backbone server, * [log in to unmask] I looked at LISTSERV's 191 and saw nothing related to LISTB. What am I doing wrong, or what else do I need to do? What will I need to do to use this list? Thanks for all your help. Please respond to me at [log in to unmask] Terry Voss V2T@NIHCU
