Overview
You can subscribe yourself to many IU List mailing lists using the web interface or email commands. However, some lists may require list owners to subscribe you, or to approve your subscription. Other lists may allow you to subscribe yourself via email commands, but may not be visible in the list index, or may not allow non-subscribers to view the list information page, which allows you to subscribe yourself via the web interface. If you have questions about a particular list, contact the list owner; see Contact the owner of an IU List mailing list.
Subscribe to one list via email
To add yourself to a mailing list, send an email message to the list's subscription address (not the main list address). The message can be blank.
Send mail to listname-l-subscribe@campus.edu
, replacing listname
with the name of the list to which you wish to subscribe, for example:
folkdance-l-subscribe@indiana.edu
listname-l@iu.edu
, you would send mail to listname-l-subscribe@iu.edu
.
For a complete list of subscription addresses by campus, see Send commands via email.
Subscribe to multiple lists via email
To add yourself to multiple lists at one campus, send an email message to the campus's command address (for example, list@indiana.edu
, list@iupui.edu
, etc.).
When sending multiple commands in a single email message:
- Leave the subject line blank and put all the commands in the email body.
- Put every command on a new line.
- Send your message in plain text, not in HTML (no formatting).
- Don't include anything in the body other than Sympa commands; do not include a signature block.
Use commands in the following format; name is optional.
SUBSCRIBE listname name
SUBSCRIBE listname2 name
You can use SUB
in place of SUBSCRIBE
for these commands. For a complete list of command addresses by campus, see Send commands via email.
