The commands understood by the listserv program are: HELP lists this file. This is also sent whenever a message to listserv is received from which no valid command could be parsed. HELP groupname lists a brief description of the group requested. INDEX lists all the groups available for subscription. LONGINDEX lists all the groups and their descriptions. ADD listname DELETE listname ADD address listname DELETE address listname adds or deletes the given address to or from the list specified. Mail is sent to the address given to confirm the add or delete operation. We strongly recommend that you use your campus registered mailname when subscribing (i.e., use the second form of the command which includes a specification of the address). If you omit the 'address' the command will assume the mailbox that is in the From: line of the message. Note that SUBSCRIBE is a synonym for ADD; UNSUBSCRIBE for DELETE. A command must be the first word on each line in the message. Lines which do not start with a command word are ignored. If no commands were found in the entire message, this help file will be returned to the user. A single message may contain multiple commands; a separate response will be sent for each. Please note that is IS possible to add or delete someone else's subscription to a mailing list. This facility is provided so that subscribers may alter their own subscriptions from a new or different computer account. There is therefore some potential for abuse; we have chosen to limit this by mailing a confirmation notification of any addition or deletion to the address added or deleted including a copy of the message which requested the operation. At least you can find out who's doing it to you. Examples: add freemacs add ewombat freemacs
