I'm running LISTSERV 1.7b, MAILER R2.08, Rice Mail 90.01.01, and VM/SP
Rel. 6, SLU 612.

I've just installed LISTSERV, and set up a list for testing purposes.
When I try to use Rice Mail to send mail to this list, I get the message:

     Userid <listname> is undefined; enter a replacement userid
     or nickname, or a null line to omit this recipient:

This makes sense, in a way, because this is not a valid userid on my system.
Still, there's got to be a way to get this mail routed to the LISTSERV machine
where it belongs.

Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance.
