TOP 10 FAQ
Q1: I cannot subscribe to the list I want. Why?
A: Make sure you have the correct list name. e.g.
OPE-L
[Note: Since we are a closed list, new subscription requests have
to be approved by the list "owner" -- JL]
The correct syntax for subscribing is
SUBSCRIBE OPE-L FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
Q2: How do I unsubscribe from a list?
A: Do you really want to do this? [NO! For a temporary absence or
vacation, set your mail to postpone instead. -- JL]
Send the Unsubscribe request to Listproc. Make sure you have the
correct spelling.
UNSUBSCRIBE OPE-L
Q3: What is the difference between Request & Posting?
A: Postings go to the list. Requests go to Listproc.
You can send postings to the list address and the message will be
distributed through the list to all the subscribers. While Subscribe
and Unsubscribe are Listproc requests and should be sent to Listproc's
address. If you send a regular posting to Listproc, Listproc will
"tell" you that's an "invalid request".
Q4: When I change my email address, what should I do?
A: Before you close your old account, use the old
account address to unsubscribe from a list. If you don't have access to
the old email address anymore, you must contact the list owner to
unsubscribe you. [Except I don't have the ability to do this. -- JL].
Q5: How do I get help?
A: Send an email to Listproc with the HELP request
HELP
If you keep getting INVALID REQUEST message, it's time to check the
syntax of your request. The information you'll get from HELP request is
very helpful.

A: LISTPROC@ANTHRAX.ECST.CSUCHICO.EDU
