Unsubscribing from the Vanagon mailing list |
List addresses
The list has two addresses. It's important to understand the difference between the two:
listserv@gerry.vanagon.com Use this address to send email to the list server. This is the address where you send commands to affect how the server sends you messages. For example, subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to this address. vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com Use this address to send email to everyone on the vanagon mailing list. (Note that you must be a subscriber to send email to this address!) Unsubscribing permanently
To unsubscribe from the list send email to listserv@gerry.vanagon.com. Fill it out as follows:
To:listserv@gerry.vanagon.com Subject:(leave this blank) Body:unsubscribe vanagon Send the message. You should get a reply from the Vanagon mailing list within a few hours. Follow the instructions in this message to complete your subscription.
Remember, Do not send this message to vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com!
Unsubscribing temporarily
The Vanagon mailing list allows you to turn off the flow of messages temporarily. This is useful, for example, when going on vacation. To turn off messages temporarily, send the following message:
To:listserv@gerry.vanagon.com Subject:(leave this blank) Body:set vanagon nomail Send the message. You should get a confirmation from the Vanagon mailing list within a few hours.
Note that messages will not be saved for you while you've turned off mail, but you can review these messages from the archive.
To turn mail back on when you return, send the following message:
To:listserv@gerry.vanagon.com Subject:(leave this blank) Body:set vanagon mail If you wish to get mail in digest mode, send the following message:
To:listserv@gerry.vanagon.com Subject:(leave this blank) Body:set vanagon digest Send one of the messages above. You should get a confirmation from the Vanagon mailing list within a few hours.
Problems?
Usually unsubscribing to the list is fairly straightforward. If you're having problems, send email to vanagon-request@gerry.vanagon.com and one of the list administrators will try to help you.
