Thanks for the many responses to my questions on adding a list of subscribers by the owner. As someone said, I had lots of things to try, and I think I have tried most of them. With reduced security, I indeed now do not have to confirm each addition. However I have another problem: Listserv refuses to send out any confirmation or welcome messages to the new users. Its like Quiet has been set as a default option for the list! The commands I have tried are the simple ADD: add nmltest [log in to unmask] pw=xxxxxxx and I have also tried the command stream suggested by Norm Aleks. The header for the test list I am working with is below: * List-ID= nmltest * List-Address= [log in to unmask] * Review= Private * Subscription= Open * Confirm-Delay= 72 * Notify= Yes * Auto-Delete= No * Send= Private * Reply-to= List,Respect * Files= No * Confidential= No * Validate= Yes * X-Tags= Yes * Stats= Normal,Private * Ack= No * Digest= Yes,/home/listserv/nmltest,Daily,Size(1000),23:59 * Notebook= Yes,/home/listserv/nmltest,Monthly,Private * Owner= [log in to unmask],[log in to unmask] * Owner= [log in to unmask],[log in to unmask],[log in to unmask] * Errors-to= Owner,Postmaster TIA, Leon | Leon D.
