Ack!  This isn't a very good way to do this.

Try this, it tastes great AND is less filling. :-)

listserv:	/usr/guest/ermis/requests

Sendmail will automatically append to the file for you.  Just create it, and
make sure that everyone can access it.  (Both for read and write)  Yes kiddies,
this is yash (Yet another "security" hole.  If anyone can read/write to the
file, then they can also change the contents...)
