Thank you for the reply, Rick.

Regarding spam, a listserv is common hosting fare that we are expected to
offer.  Whether we build a listserv for our customers manually in IMail
Administrator or allow them convenient self-service through our control panel is
irrelevant to any spamming issues.  That's a matter for policies and management
and only after a list is created.

Thank you for the suggested workaround.  Unfortunately, our customers will
demand a "vanity" list -- one that incorporates their domain name.

I suppose I'll have to script something.
