Setting Your Password

You can set your personal password when subscribing by writing to the lyris@ address and adding the "pw=yourpass" command to your subscribe request.

For example, to subscribe to a mailing list called "jazztalk" with a password of "blue", you would send the following command:

subscribe jazztalk pw=blue

Note: You can always specify your password at a later date with the "set" command or by using the web interface. This syntax is useful because you can set the password in the same command as the subscribing.

However, including a password in an email message is inherently insecure. If you are concerned about password security, do not use email commands that require a login command.
