Help for ANC Today mailing list
[Back to ANC Today susbscribe page]
This is email command help for version 2.0.5 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://mail.anc.org.za/mailman/listinfo/anctoday
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 anctoday-request@lists.anc.org.za
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.
If you have forgotten your password go to the list web page at http://mail.anc.org.za/mailman/listinfo/anctoday
and request that it be sent to you.
