SENDING A COMMAND

 

LISTSERV® has a powerful command interpreter that allows you to perform most list-related tasks by email.

To send a command, open a new email and complete it as follows:

 
To: LISTSERV@JISCMail.ac.uk
Subject:  
Message:  

COMMAND syntax

--

Signature

 

Notes:

 
To: The To: address should be LISTSERV@JISCMail.ac.uk
   
Subject: The subject is ignored by LISTSERV, so can be left blank.
   
Message:    

Ideally, all that should be present in the Message body is the command and its syntax. You can send more than one command at once providing each command begins on a new line.

Important:
If a signature, or anything else, is contained in the message body after the command(s) it is vital that it is preceeded by a '--', otherwise LISTSERV will try to interpret it as part of the command
