List as many owners as you need by placing an additional "Owner= email_address@uga.edu" on a new line (where email_address is the address of the person you are adding as an owner).

My listserv has been held, how do I free it so people can post again?
Lists will be placed on hold if the threshold (amount of messages posted in a day) exceeds 50 messages by default. This default threshold can be changed by list owners. To free a list that has been held, send an email to
listserv@listserv.uga.edu and paste the following text in the body:
free name-of-list.
I registered and confirmed my
password, but I'm "not authorized" to post/access the list's archives. Why?
Note that registering a password does not authorize you to post to a
list or access list archives: for most UGA lists, you must also be a list
subscriber.
The listserv password just allows Listserv to authenticate you as a
subscriber.
To subscribe:
-
-
Type in (or click on) the list you are interested in. Select the 'Join
or leave the list' option.
-
Fill in your email address and name
-
Click the 'Join the List' button
Once you have confirmed your subscription, you'll be able to post or
access the list's archives.
I have some other questions not answered here, who can I contact for help?
Send an email to listhelp@uga.edu for all other listserv inquiries.
