LISTSERV COMMANDS

The following are one-line commands that work for all listservers that give their name as listserv--not listserver or listproc. These commands allow you to communicate with the academic network's listserver (which is a program, not a person) so that you can set the options you want your account to have with the network. Remember to send your commands to your network's listserver address (not its regular mailing address) and to put nothing on the subject line.

SUB Listname Your Name        (Subscribes you to a list, i.e., an
(e.g. sub ansax-l joe blow)   academic discussion group)

SIGNOFF Listname              (Unsubscribes you from a list, or
(e.g. signoff ansax-l)        academic discussion group)

SET Listname Ack              (Listserver will notify you that it
(e.g. set ansax-l ack)        has broadcast a message you sent to
                              the list)

SET Listname Noack            (Listserver will broadcast the     
(e.g. set ansax-l noack)      message without notifying you) 

SET Listname Rep              (Listserver will send you a copy of
(e.g. set ansax-l rep)        any message you send to the list)

SET Listname Norep            (Listserver will cease sending you
(e.g. set ansax-l norep)      copies of messages you send the    
                                   list)

SET Listname Conceal          (Hides your name from review, 
(e.g. set ansax-l conceal)    i.e., makes you an "unlisted"      
                                   subscriber) 

SET Listname Noconceal        (Unhides your name)
(e.g. set ansax-l noconceal)

SET Listname Nomail           (Stops all network mail from coming
(e.g. set ansax-l nomail)     to your account until further
				notice) 
   
SET Listname Mail             (Resets all network mail to come to
(e.g. set ansax-l mail)            your account) 

IND Listname                  (Sends you directory of network's  
(e.g. ind ansax-l)                 available archive files)

HELP Listname                 (Sends you a list of commands)
(e.g. help ansax-l)

REVIEW listname               (Sends you a list of subscribers
(e.g. review ansax-l)              to the network)

GET <filename><filetype>     (Retrieves specified file 
(e.g. get descrip oe-call)         from filelist)
