- You can subscribe or unsubscribe to the bguim by sending
- email to -> bguim-request@aobh.xs4all.nl. <-.
-
- 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.
-
- 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. 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.
-
- DELETE-ALL [address]
- UNSUBSCRIBE-ALL [address]
- Unsubscribes given address from all mailing lists. Mail is
- sent the address given to confirm the deletions. If you omit
- the 'address' the command will assume the mailbox that is in
- the From: line of the message.
-
- A command must be the first word on each line in the message. Lines
- which do not start with a command word result in this file to be sent. If
- no commands were found in the entire message, that message is completely
- ignored. A single message may contain multiple commands; some commands may
- result in a separate reply (namely FAQ, HELP) while others will just write
- something to the logfile. You will always receive a response to any command
- found in the mail.
-
- One short example:
-
- To: Testlist-request@aobh.xs4all.nl
- Subject:
-
- ADD myaddress@mysite
- FAQ
-
- will add myaddress@mysite to the "Testlist" and send the FAQ back in
- return.
-
- Please note that it 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; I 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 niftylist
- delete joe@uunet.uu.net junkylist
- help eggbeaters
-
- Note that you mail submissions to a mailing list by addressing mail to
- the list's name at this site (e.g., niftylist@aobh.xs4all.nl). If you have
- any questions or need assistance, you can send email to
- postmaster@aobh.xs4all.nl for a human answer.
-
- Yours sincerely,
- Michiel Willems
