It *appears* that SERVE user@* OFF does work. SERVE *@node OFF, causes the '*' to reference my issuing id, and SERVE *@* OFF seems to reference my id on all nodes. Problems develop, though, if this is not done with QUIET, because LISTSERV actually uses the '*' in the To: header of its notification mail, which MAILER will reject. This is LISTSERV 1.7b.
