As a listserver owner/maintainer, there are two main things you will typically do: add and remove users.
To do this, you must first register your email address with the LISTSERV system and set a password.
The email address you should use to register yourself is the same address that has been set as the owner of the list. That address is also typically the address that you are subscribed to the list with.
So, if I was the owner of the list mytestlist@siggraph.org, and I was registered on the list with the email address of myemailname@siggraph.org, I would register with the LISTSERV system using the myemailname@siggraph.org address.
