Subscribing / Unsubscribing by E-Mail

The server uses the popular Majordomo mailing list software.  Traditionally, mailing lists have been operated and configured exclusively through e-mail.  There are two ways to subscribe to a mailing list:

 

1.  Send an e-mail to majordomo@yourdomain.com and type "subscribe listname" (without quotes) in the message body.

2.  Send an e-mail to listname-request@yourdomain.com and type "subscribe" (without quotes) in the message body.

 

Each list is also available in digest form.  This means that messages are stored and then sent out once per period (e.g. weekly) in one big message.  This is useful in larger lists to assure that recipients don't get overwhelmed by daily messages.  To subscribe to the digest version of the list, follow the same procedure for subscribing except use:

 

1.  "subscribe listname-digest" instead of "subscribe listname."

2.  listname-digest-request@yourdomain.com instead of listname-request@yourdomain.com

 

The steps to unsubscribing are identical to subscribing except that you replace the word "subscribe" with "unsubscribe" in the message body.  Majordomo will send you a results e-mail if the subscribe/unsubscribe was successful.  In addition, you may view the list of subscribers from the control panel.
