As I understand it Listserv does end the Welcome and Farewell letters to list-owners So either you must ask someone else on the list to signoff and then subscribe again to see if they get the messages. Alternatively you should get yourself another email address from bigfoot, iname, or net-address or elsewhere who will redirect mail from that address to your real email address That way you can see whether the commands work Note though that when you send the confirmation of subscription back you must change the options in your mailer-program to show your email address as that of your subscribing-mail and then change them back afterwards. hope this helps gerald [log in to unmask] Gerald England's Home page - http://www.nhi.clara.net/gehome.htm New Hope International - http://www.nhi.clara.net/nhihome.htm Christine's page - http://members.tripod.com/~lacemaker/index.htm NHI Review - http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/1735 Cyberscribers - http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/7573 ---------- > From: YANKI PURSUN <[log in to unmask]> > To: > Subject: Re: WELCOME and FAREWELL messages > Date: 02 February 1998 13:13 > > At 00:00 01.02.1998 +0100, you wrote: > >>The server accepted my WELCOME and FAREWELL messages.
