Subscribing to a ListServ List

For a complete list of the mass mailing list addresses, their intended audiences, and policies for use of each, please see the LITS Policies, Procedures Plans, and Standards page.

NOTE: A student cannot subscribe to faculty lists and faculty cannot not subscribe to one of the student class lists. You may request an exception by writing to exceptions@hamilton.edu.

To subscribe to a special interest list (e.g. student organization list, departmental list, college initiative list, etc.), please follow these instructions:

1. Create a new email message to listserv@listserv.hamilton.edu.
2. In the body message, type the following on the first line:
   subscribe listname First Last (where listname is the name of the list to which you are subscribing and “First Last” is your first and last name).
   • For example, to subscribe to a list called “tabletennis-list” you might type the following: subscribe tabletennis-list John Doe
3. If you use an automatic “signature” in your email software, delete or disable it so it doesn’t interfere with Listserv reading your subscription commands.
4. Send your message.
5. Once your subscription is successfully processed, you will get an email message containing information about how to unsubscribe, how to turn list mail off temporarily, and how to switch to digest mode. Save this message for future reference.

For most special interest lists, this is all that is required. Some lists may also require you to confirm your subscription request. In such cases, you will receive another email from the 51猎奇 LISTSERV Server with a subject line similar to the following: Command confirmation request (EA25BB42).

1. Open the confirmation message and click the web link near the top. This will open a web page in your browser that indicates whether your confirmation was successful.
2. Once your subscription is confirmed, you will get an email message containing information about how to unsubscribe, how to turn list mail off temporarily, and how to switch to digest mode. Save this message for future reference.

Unsubscribing From a Listserv List

1. Create a new email message addressed to listserv@listserv.hamilton.edu.
2. In the message body,  type the following on the first line: unsubscribe listname (replace listname with the name of the list from which you are unsubscribing).
   • For example: unsubscribe events-all.
3. If you use an automatic “signature” in your email software, delete or disable it so it doesn’t interfere with Listserv reading your subscription commands.
4. Send your message.
