Steve, your problems are normal and they're due to a combination of using LSVTEST and the default config that ships with the eval kits. The two aren't compatible. The problems will go away when your server is registered in INTPEERS NAMES, however before I register it I'm waiting for your answer to my suggestion of setting up a separate hostname MXed to your machine and using the username LISTSERV on that machine, because this will save you a lot of trouble when renaming the userid. In an ideal world, people don't lay off the last person who knows about a service that many of their users are still depending on, or at least they close it down before doing that. In an ideal world, people don't print obsolete information in books, and people who buy Internet books realize that the info is obsolete by the time it hits the presses and use the instructions supplied in the books to get a more up to date online listing. But this isn't an ideal world. If you can set up the server under its final production name from the outset, you won't regret the extra time you spent doing that. Eric
