Listserv mailing list instructions

Joining or leaving a mailing list

To join a mailing list: Use the subscribe command in the message body in the following way:
subscribe listname emailaddresss full_name | anonymous (full_name is two distinct words, anonymous is used if you do not wish to use your name)
For example: subscribe maths-gametheory-l e.dover@lse.ac.uk Eileen Dover subscribe law-criminaljustice-l s.cargo@yahoo.com anonymous.

To leave a mailing list: The signoff command in the message body can be used to remove yourself from a mailing list: signoff listname | *
For example: signoff maths-gametheory-l to remove yourself from the maths-gametheory mailing list and signoff * to remove yourself from all lists you have subscribed to on the Listserv server.

Change your email address

To update your address in the mailing list use the change command in the message body: change listname | * new_email_address
For example: change law-criminaljustice-l scargo99@hotmail.com You can choose for the change to apply to the specified list or, by using an asterisk, to all lists that you are subscribed to.
Note: this command will only work when sent from the email address that the user is changing from - i.e. the older email address under which the user is subscribed to the list.

To suspend messages being sent to you

To temporarily stop receiving messagesfrom the Listserv server you can use the set - nomail command: set listname | * nomail
For example: set law-criminaljustice-l nomail set * nomail
You can specify the name of the list that you want to stop receiving messages from or you can use an asterisk to specify all lists that you are subscribed to.
To reinstate the delivery of messages use: set listname | * mail

To receive a digest or index

To opt to receive a daily index or digest of messages: An index will consist of a list of messages posted to the list and will include the subject and author of the message. You can select the messages that you are interested in and 'order' them from the server using the instructions in the index message. A digest is single message containing all the messages posted since the last digest. It is not edited.
The following commands turn index or digest on or off for the specified list or all lists: set listname | * digest | nodigest set listname | * index | noindex
For example: set law-criminaljustice-l digest set maths-gametheory-l noindex Note: you cannot have index and digest set at the same time. Setting index will override digest and vice versa.
