Subscribers can issue Email Commands for your list by sending the following commands to:

    MAILINGLISTNAME-request@YOURDOMAIN.com

(About the descriptions – words in “<>”s signify REQUIRED items and words in “[]” denote OPTIONAL items.  Do not include the “<>”s or “[]”s when you use the commands. A command should be sent in the body of the message – no subject – and no other text than the command should be in the body.) 

The following commands are valid:

   help

   confirm <confirmation-string>

       Confirm an action.  The confirmation-string is required and should be

       supplied by a mailback confirmation notice.

   end

       Stop processing commands.  Use this if your mail program automatically

       adds a signature file.

       you can change your password.

       settings.

   subscribe [password] [digest|nodigest] [address=address]

       Subscribe to this mailing list.  Your password must be given to

       unsubscribe or change your options, but if you omit the password, one

       will be generated for you.  You may be periodically reminded of your

       password.

       The next argument may be either: `nodigest’ or `digest’ (no quotes!).

       If you wish to subscribe an address other than the address you sent

       this request from, you may specify “address=address” (no brackets around the email address, and no quotes!)

        All subscribe commands sent via e-mail will send a confirmation to the address being subscribed. Once the confirmation message has been replied to (instructions are included in the message) the new list memeber will be subscribed to the list.

   unsubscribe [password] [address=address]

       Unsubscribe from the mailing list.  If given, your password must match

       your current password.  If omitted, a confirmation email will be sent

       to the unsubscribing address. If you wish to unsubscribe an address

       other than the address you sent this request from, you may specify

       “address=address” (no brackets around the email address, and no quotes!)
