Brief Listserv Owner Instructions |
Last revised April 4, 2002
The following examples are for a listserv named NAMEOFLIST, but will work for
any listserv, if your e-mail address is one of the owners (each listserv can have
mutliple owners).
As an owner, you can send commands to add, delete or review members
to Listserv (which is a machine) at:
LISTSERV@UNL.EDU
For you, or anyone, to send information to the members (people) of the
list, address e-mail to:
NAMEOFLIST@UNL.EDU
ADD MEMBERS
Send an e-mail message to:
LISTSERV@UNL.EDU
In the Message Field (NOT Subject):
QUIET ADD NAMEOFLIST account@internet.node firstname lastname
Message field items are case insensitive, although you may want to capitalize
people's names. You can add as many members at once as you like, but only
one addition per line.
Example:
quiet add nameoflist jdoe@unlnotes.unl.edu John Doe
quiet add nameoflist msmith@unlserve.unl.edu Mary Smith
quiet add nameoflist account@internet.node Bob Jones
NOTE:
- As owner you are NOT automatically going to recieve the list's mailings.
If you want to receive them, you must add your e-mail to the list.
- If you do NOT use the QUIET option, then listserv will send a notice
to the member of their addition to the list by you.
DELETE MEMBERS
Send an e-mail message to:
LISTSERV@UNL.EDU
In the Message Field (NOT Subject):
QUIET DELETE NAMEOFLIST account@internet.node
Message field items are case insensitive. You can delete as many members
at once as you like, but only one deletion per line.
Example:
quiet delete nameoflist jdoe@unlnotes.unl.edu
quiet delete nameoflist msmith@unlserve.unl.edu
quiet delete nameoflist account@internet.node
NOTE:
- If you do NOT use the QUIET option, then listserv will send a notice
to the member of their deletion from the list by you.
