My users could not subscribe or unsubscribe to any local mailing lists we had setup. I tracked the problem down to the MASTER.COM command file; it is setting the MAILSERV_MAIL_DIR logical name incorrectly. The simple fix is to remove the trailing dot (".") in the MAILSERV_MAIL_DIR logical name. Note that the trailing dot in the MAILSERV_FILES_DIR is ok.
