It depends. If the user sends email to the list-join or list-subscribe address or to list-request with a plain subscribe command, the user's name will be taken from the From: header of the email. I.e., an email From: My Name <[email protected]> To: [email protected] is a request to subscribe [email protected] with name 'My Name'. On the other hand, if you send a subscribe command with the address= option to the list-request address in order to subscribe an address other than the From: header address, there is no way to specify a user name with that command. You can send, e.g., the command subscribe mypasswd digest without the address= option to specify a password and/or (no)digest, and as long as it doesn't have address=, both name (if any) and address will be taken form the From: header. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
