Most traditional mailing lists are administered by a software package 
called "MAJORDOMO".  You sign up for & get out of mailing lists by emailing 
commands to the server.  Here are those commands.

In the description below, items contained in []'s are optional. When
providing the item, do not include the []'s around it.  Items in angle
brackets, such as <address>, are meta-symbols that should be replaced
by appropriate text without the angle brackets.

MAJORDOMO understands the following commands:

    subscribe <list> [<address>]
	Subscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) to the named 
	<list>.
	
    unsubscribe <list> [<address>]
	Unsubscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) from the 
	named <list>.  "unsubscribe *" will remove you (or <address>) 
	from all lists.  This may not work if you have subscribed 
	using multiple addresses.

    get <list> <filename>
        Get a file related to <list>.

    index <list>
        Return an index of files you can "get" for <list>.

    which [<address>]
	Find out which lists you (or <address> if specified) are on.

    who <list>
	Find out who is on the named <list>.

    info <list>
	Retrieve the general introductory information for the named 
	<list>.

    intro <list>
	Retrieve the introductory message sent to new users.  
	Non-subscribers may not be able to retrieve this.

    lists
	Show the lists served by this Majordomo server.

    help
	Retrieve this message.

    end
	Stop processing commands (useful if your mailer adds a 
	signature).

Commands should be sent in the body of an email message to
"Majordomo@lists.domain-name.com". Multiple commands can be 
processed provided each occurs on a separate line.

Commands in the "Subject:" line are NOT processed.

If you have any questions or problems, please contact
"Majordomo-Owner@lists.domain-name.com".
