This is email command help for version 2.0.1 of the "Mailman" list
manager. The following describes commands you can send to get
information about and control your subscription to Mailman lists at
this site. A command can be in the subject line or in the body of the
message.
Note that much of the following can also be accomplished via the World
Wide Web, at:
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/mailman/listinfo/csci_ga_2440_001_sp13
In particular, you can use the Web site to have your password sent to
your delivery address.
List specific commands (subscribe, who, etc) should be sent to the
*-request address for the particular list, e.g. for the 'mailman'
list, use 'mailman-request@...'.
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.
The following commands are valid:
subscribe [password] [digest-option] [address=<address>]
Subscribe to the mailing
list. Your password must be given to
unsubscribe or change your
options. When you subscribe to the
list, you'll be reminded of
your password periodically.
'digest-option' may be either:
'nodigest' or 'digest' (no
quotes!) If you wish to
subscribe an address other than the
address you send this request
from, you may specify
"address=<email
address>" (no brackets around the email
address, no quotes!)
unsubscribe <password> [address]
Unsubscribe from the mailing
list. Your password must match
the one you gave when you
subscribed. If you are trying to
unsubscribe from a different
address than the one you
subscribed from, you may
specify it in the 'address' field.
