DESCRIPTIONS

SUBSCRIBE

listname [address] [{real name}] [(pass)]

The originator is added to the membership of the specified list provided that list exists and allows remote subscriptions. If an optional address is specified after the list name then that address is added to the list's membership rather than the address found in the FROM: field of the subscription message. A real name can be added for the subscriber by including it in braces (e.g. {Frank Thomas}. If the list's password follows this command (parentheses around it are required) then the command will be honored even if this list's subscribe function is switched off.

Examples:

SUBSCRIBE mdsupp
SUBSCRIBE mdsupp me@mydomain.com {Frank T}
SUBSCRIBE mdsupp you@yourdom.com (PASS)

UNSUBSCRIBE
Or
SIGNOFF

listname [address] [(pass)]

The originator is removed from the membership of the specified list provided that list exists and contains the originator as a current member. If an optional address is specified after the list's name then that address is removed from the list's membership rather than the address found in the FROM: field of the unsubscribe message.  If the list's password follows this command (parentheses around it are required) then the command will be honored even if this list's unsubscribe function is switched off.

Examples:

UNSUBSCRIBE MDSUPP (MDSPASS)
