Just create a standard user account and remove all the IPL, LINK
and MDISK statements in the directory entry. A LISTSERV mailbox
id just has to be a valid user and have a reader to spool things
into.

We just create a regular user and change the password to
something that can't be typed from the keyboard and leave it that
way. LISTSERV does all the work.
