Jane is correct.  Listserv gets your user@node address from the header
information of your incoming request.  He requires that you supply at least
two real names, but there's no max, so if your subscribe request is "sub
phys-l youremail@whereever firstname lastname" he'll think your real name
is "youremail@whereever firstname lastname."  Strange but true :-)
