Majorodomo User Commands

These are the commands available to users of your list. To use them, you send a message to Majordomo and use these commands in the body of the message. Each mailing list has a special "request" address where commands can be sent. For example, to use the widgets mailing list (widgets@lists.connect.com.au), send commands to widgets-request@lists.connect.com.au.

It is also possible to send commands directly to majordomo@lists.connect.com.au. If you do so, be sure to specify which list you want to use. With all the commands below, you can leave out list if you are sending to list-request@lists.connect.com.au.

unsubscribe list address
