SUBSCRIBE 4AD-L FirstName LastName

1. To unsubscribe:

   SIGNOFF 4AD-L

2. To get mail in daily-digest form:

   SET 4AD-L DIGEST

3. To put mail on hold:

   SET 4AD-L NOMAIL

4. To return to getting mail, one message at a time:

   SET 4AD-L MAIL

5. To receive copies of your own messages:

   SET 4AD-L REPRO

6. To not receive copies of your own messages:

   SET 4AD-L NOREPRO

1. Send mail to the listserver with no subject line, and the single line

   REVIEW 4AD-L

   in the body.

2. You will get a file back with the list of 4AD-L subscribers. Search that list for your name to find out what address you originally subscribed under.

3. If that address is still your current address, send another message to the above listserv address, no subject line, with the single line:

   SIGNOFF 4AD-L

   in the body.

4. If that address is not your current address, you can get your sysop to send the unsubscribe command for you. You need the node administrator (your sysop) to use the single line command (as above):

   FOR username SIGNOFF 4AD-L

   This type of command must be sent from user@node, where user is maint, postmast, or postmaster.

5. Another option, for those that use a POP mail client such as Eudora or Netscape to read their mail, is to alter the "return address" setting to match the old address under which you're subscribed, and then send another signoff command from the faked return address. Don't forget to change the return address back afterwards.

6. If you don't have the ability to forge a return address (probably not if you read mail from a Unix shell account) you may know someone who does; in that case they can do the previous step for you by temporarily changing their return address to be your subscription address. The response from the listserv will come back to you, of course, not them, since they're pretending to be you.

7. For further information on listserv commands, send mail to the listserv address with the single line:

   INFO REFCARD

Please avoid sending "is the mailing list OK?" messages to the list itself, as that certainly won't diagnose the problem. Instead, we'd sugggest as a first measure you send the following two commands to the list server. Send an email to listserv@listserv.american.edu with the following text in the body of the message:

SET 4AD-L NOMAIL
SET 4AD-L DIGEST
END

Alternatively, if you receive a message back saying you are unsubscribed, you should send the command REVIEW 4AD-L to the listserver. You'll receive a list back of all the subscribers. Look through this list to see if your entry exists or not. If not, simply resubscribe yourself.

If you find your name in the list of subscribers, your outgoing mail address is probably incorrect. In this case send a message to the list administrators who should be able to correct your subscription address.
