Find a List's Information Page
To find out information about a list; to subscribe, unsubscribe, or edit
your subscription options; or to access archived messages -- in other
words, to do just about anything as a subscriber -- you need to know the
name of the list and how to access that list's information page. All
"listinfo" pages can be found at a URL similar to the following:
http://listserv.ohio.edu/mailman/listinfo/listname
where listname is replaced with the actual name of the list for
which you want to get information.
Subscribe to a List
To subscribe to a Mailman list, you first need to know the listname. If
you would like to look at all of the available public Mailman lists at Ohio University, go to http://listserv.ohio.edu/mailman/listinfo/.
If the list is a public list, it will be listed. Select the listname.
If the list you are looking for is not listed on the public page, you will
need to know the listname. To go to that list's information page, see the
instructions above.
You will be taken to that list's information page where you will be able
to subscribe.
Unsubscribe or Edit Options
To unsubscribe or edit your subscription options, you need to go to the
list's information page. To do so, see the instructions above. Once you are at the listinfo page
for your list, fill in your email address next to the "Unsubscribe or edit
options" box and click on the box.
- To unsubscribe, click on the "Unsubscribe" button.
- If you want to edit your subscription options, you will need to log in
with your password.
If you have forgotten your password, click on the "Remind" button and your
password will be emailed to you.
Post a Message to a List
All lists on the Mailman server at Ohio University have email addresses of the form
<listname>@listserv.ohio.edu
so if you know the name of the list to which you want to post, just add
"@listserv.ohio.edu" to the end of it. For example, if you want to
post a message to the ohiosports list, address it to
"ohiosports@listserv.ohio.edu"
There are a few general guidelines that should be followed when posting
messages to a mailing list. For more information, go to Etiquette Guidelines
for Posting Messages.
Access a List's Message Archives
Each mailing list may have its messages automatically archived. This can
be useful for newcomers who want to catch up with the discussion, or for
posting and archiving FAQs.
To access the archives of a particular list, go to the list's
information page (see above) and follow the link
to the list's archives.
