The listserv is on my system. He just asked me to set one up for him.
Everything in the configuration is the same as the original one I've been
running for years and even that one will not pass any response when either
subscribing or unsubscribing as well.
DM> How are they unsubscribing exactly - using the message subject?
Yes, that is activated.
This is what I get when using "help" on the subject line:
TequilaMockingbird Online ListServ 1.39 Response:
Available commands:
lists
subscribe [address]
unsubscribe [address]
help
end
This is what I get when "lists" on the subject line:
TequilaMockingbird Online ListServ 1.39 Response:
List of lists:
NJBC New Jersey Boxer Club
SBI Superstition Boxers Information
!Bad command: This
Available commands:
lists
subscribe [address]
unsubscribe [address]
help
end
Why would it show a !Bad Command: This ??

Great! Hopefully some good will comes out of this!!
