Ben Parker wrote: You would have to modify the ADD1 or ADD2 message template (ADD1 is for Subscription=By_Owner and ADD2 is for Subscription= open, confirm). These templates are in the DEFAULT.MAILTPL file. Instructions for getting, maodifying, and PUTing the modified listname.MAILTPL file back to LISTSERV are in Sec 9 of the Owners Manual. Read it fully and carefully! You would want to add a .TO &LISTNAME@&MYHOST to the beginning of each template You might also change the text of the message template as it is presently intended for a single recipient.

The following is in the TO field when everyone gets the message so if they just hit reply the message goes to the list but also the the listserv. The message itself works great. How do I get rid of listserv return address. Below is what the messages going to the list look like with the header.
