On JISCMail, you can subscribe to as many
lists as you like. Each subscription
is treated separately by LISTSERV®.
There are three primary ways that you can join or leave
lists and manage your subscriptions:
List Homepage
From the list homepage at www.jiscmail.ac.uk/LISTNAME (where 'LISTNAME is the name of your chosen list), follow the link
"Join or Leave LISTNAME"
Subscribe
Fill in your name and email address. If you are new to JISCMail, it may be best to leave the settings as they are by default. Otherwise, select which
options you want to set for your subscription. Click
on the 'Join LISTNAME' button.
Unsubscribe
Click on the 'Leave LISTNAME.' button.
Change settings
Adjust your settings and then click on the 'Update
Options' button.
Subscriber's Corner
Subscriber's
Corner is a powerful tool for
managing your subscriptions, especially when you are subscribed
to many lists. It may seem more detailed to use at first
but, once you get used to it, is much more flexible
than other methods.
Subscribe
Under 'Search Options', type in
the list name, or part of the list name, in the 'Search for List' ' field. Change the 'Show All Lists' option from 'Show Subscribed Lists Only' to "Show All lists" and then
click on 'Search'.
You should then see a table of one or more lists. Tick
the box to the left of the list you want to join, at
the bottom of the table, choose 'Subscribe'
from the drop down menu and click on 'Submit'.
Unsubscribe
Tick the box to the left of the list you
want to leave, at the bottom of the table change the
option within the drop down menu to "Unsubscribe" and click on 'Submit'.
Change settings
Choose 'Subscribed Lists Only' from the 'Show All Lists' link, then choose 'My Settings' . From the drop down menus at the bottom of the table, select the relevant settings for any options
you wish to change and click on 'Submit'.
Depending on the configuration of the
list your subscription request may go to the list owner
for approval.
You will receive an email asking
for you to confirm your request. This is known as an "OK
Confirmation". Either click on the link provided
in the email, or reply to it with the word "OK" in
the message body. Note: Your subscription will not be
activated until you have done this. If you do not receive this confirmation request promptly, email helpline@jiscmail.ac.uk and we will confirm it for you. The request will expire after 48 hours if it is not confirmed.
