Mailing Lists at the University of Birmingham User Guide Commands

All commands sent to majordomo are sent in the body of email messages. Commands in the "subject" field of a mail header are ignored. The commands are sent either to majordomo@bham.ac.uk or <listname>-request@bham.ac.uk where "listname" is the name of the list. The following commands are available to all users. Some lists are "open", where subscription is open to all and some are "closed", where the list owner decides who can join the list. You will be informed of the success or failure of attempts to join lists, and if your request has been forwarded to the list owner. The examples use fictional names and addresses.

You may send more than one command in a mail message. Each command must begin on a new line. If you send email with a signature attached you should always use the end command after all other commands but before your signature.
