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!!

Thanks as always DM...
