Hi all, I am a bit new to this. A friend has been gracious enough to let me have one of his lists to handle. I am getting the feel for it, but came across this in Chapter 5.6 List-Keyword Recommendations in the LISTSERV Tips Manual. Can someone help me out with just what a remote user is??? Are we talking about traveling laptops checking in at hotels or something and deciding to sign on/off?? Thanks in advance. TELL LISTSERV DEL listname user@node PW=password WARNING: Unfortunately, VALIDATE=ALL COMMANDS prevents remote users from signing off a list. If, on the other hand, you want to restrict who can sign up for a list, yet allow users to unsubscribe, use VALIDATE= STORE ONLY in conjunction with SUBSCRIPTION= BY_OWNER.
