I agree that it sounds weird, but I'm not asking them to put in another 
username, I am asking them to put in a "Listname" that is equal to what 
they percieve their list to be named.

This has worked quite well in the past.  It seems that folks with multiple 
domain names for their server have a problem unless they use the default 
domain name with their lists.  Adding the full list name (with the 
"@domain.com") solves the problem.

It worked for two folks last week - both whom had identical sypmtoms as 
Matthew.
