The Listname-Request Address

Email Address: Listname-request@

Purpose: An alternative to lyris@, this email address will accept all ListManager commands. By adding the listname in the address, it does not need to be specified in the command (but it will work fine if it is).

Example address: jazztalk-request@clio.lyris.net.

Example command: "subscribe"

When commands are sent to this address, all the same commands work, but the listname is no longer needed in the command. For instance, one command to subscribe to a mailing list is:

subscribe listname

That command syntax will work for any of the ListManager addresses. However, if the command is sent to listname-request, such as jazz-request@minerva.acme.com, this command is enough, since the list name is clear from the mailing address:

subscribe

Note: All ListManager address syntaxes work fine when sent to the listname-request address.
