Majordomo Commands

The list is managed by the “Majordomo” mailing list manager.

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.

• subscribe <list> [<address>]
  Subscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) to the named <list>.
• unsubscribe <list> [<address>]
