Listserv commands

Listserv commands allow you to control the list through commands sent in email messages to the listserv command address. By default, the command address for a domain is "listserv@example.com", where example is the name of your domain. However, your system administrator may change this command address.

To send a command, compose an email to the command address with the command in the body of the message. The subject of the message is ignored.
