OK, beginner question time -- Did you GET/modify/PUT the <listname> FILELIST to include the <listname> MAILFORM file? If not, then you need to use (PUTC on your LSVPUT command so LISTSERV ignores checking for whether a file is 'known'. >Finally, I will also be using a WELCOME file.

Send [log in to unmask] the command: get lsvowner package lsvowner for more information.
