Other List Serv Commands

Besides subscribing and unsubscribing there are several other useful commands that you can send to the LIST SERV address including:

• set [listname] nomail - temporarily stops delivery of email from a Listserv.
  
• set [listname] mail - resumes delivery of email from a Listserv.
  
• help - gets basic help with using a Listserv.
  
• list short - get a brief description of the particular lists served by a Listserv host.

Sending Messages to a List

To participate in a discussion list, once subscribed, you can either reply to all the subscribers on the list, reply to the person who originated a message only, or compose a new message and send it to the listname address (not the list serv address!). Clear instructions on how to interact on a particular list are always given, once you subscribe successfully.
