I run a list that recently moved homes. For some reason, the sponsors of the list decided in their wisdom to keep the list also intact at its old home, except not to allow it to post or messages or receive new subscriptions. This was fine up to a point, but if a subscriber at the new home mistakenly or unthinkingly sent unsub or nomail commands to listserv at the old home, I'd never know about it unless they wrote and complained. So I changed the old list header to validate=yes,confirm thinking that would bring about a situation where I would be notified of all moves on the old list. In fact, all it does is lay a small (and annoying, if you're a technophobe) obstacle in the way of your sending commands to listserv at the old home--in the form of a command confirmation request. So I have two questions: 1) how can I alter the TEXT of the command confirmation request so that it just says get in touch with the listowner if you want to change your options? 2) if I'm stuck with the text of the ccr as is, what else can I do to make sure any attempts to unsub, etc., at the old list address will come to my attention? (I HAVE altered the FAREWELL file at the old list but that's only part of the problem). All suggestions welcomed. Many thanks for help.
