Hello!  I'm trying to set up a mailing list and would like it to behave just like the 
ipswitch discusion groups whereby you need to respond to a confirmation email to 
subscribe/unsubscribe to a list.

I've managed to set it all up and everything seems to work just fine except for one 
thing!  When I use my IMail web messaging account to join my list via a website which 
sends a confirmation email (just like the ipswitch ones work) I keep getting an 
"illegal command" error when I send back the confirmation email.

The reason it's happening is because (I think) of the "reply message original message 
indicator" which is included in the reply.  So the "subscribe/unsubscribe command in 
the reply is prefixed with a ">" character.  If I go and turn this feature off in the 
web messaging Options screen everything works fine. I would have thought this was just 
a limitation of the system until I noticed that when I joined this list using the same 
procedure described above it worked! (with the original message indicator ">" 
prefixing the "subscribe" command!!)

Does anyone know how I can make this work for my mailing list???

Thanks a million!
