The Command-Listname Address

Email Address: Command-Listname@ and Listname-Command@

Purpose: This is an alternate address for sending ListManager commands, and for most commands, is the simplest way to execute them. For commands that relate to a mailing list, sending any mail to the Command-Listname@ address executes that command. The text of the message sent is not relevant in the command.

For example, to subscribe to a mailing list called "jazztalk", people can send mail to "jazztalk-subscribe" ("subscribe-jazztalk" also works) Listname-Command@… and Command-Listname@ are equivalent. Both will work, and both mean the same thing.

The commands subscribe (and aliases), unsubscribe (and aliases), purge, mail, digest, mimedigest, index, nomail, ack, noack, unhold, query, confirm, review, stats, hello, goodbye are available in this way.

See the unsubscribe and purge section for special information about those commands.
