After reading the notes on forged postings and at the advice of Melvin Klassen my co-owner and I decided to change our header to Validate=yes. Of course I was clueless to the fact that this now requires a personal password. I issued the command to listserv at ukcc pw add XXXXX via mail and I received the following reply: >>From: "L-Soft list server at UKCC (1.8a)" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Output of your job "EMARAT" To: [log in to unmask] > pw add xxxxx The nearest LISTSERV host to your node is HARVARDA.<< 1. Does this mean I have to wait until a person issues a password? (at harvard it could be forever) 2. Can I change my header without the personal password? I'd set validate=no until I get this sorted out. 3. What't the syntax for the password, e.g. what do I add to the delete healthre user@xyz command. 4. Can the password be issued by the listserv management at Ukcc despite the above message? Help! and thank you. Eleftheria Maratos-Flier, co-owner, healthre
