Subscribe to an IU List mailing list

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

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.).

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.

You can also manage your list subscriptions through the IU List web interface.
