How to Unsubscribe from a Listserv
You become part of a listserv by sending an e-mail message requesting a
subscription to the list. After your subscription has been accepted, the mailing
listserver sends you all the postings to the list. All e-mail messages sent to
the list will be distributed to all subscribers' e-mail in boxes. You can unsubscribe at any time.
How to Subscribe to a Listserv
To subscribe to a listserv, follow these steps:
- Make sure that you are using your own e-mail program and/or settings (so that
your e-mail message says that it is from your e-mail address and not someone
else's). Address an e-mail message to the
following:
listproc@listproc.wsu.edu
- In the Subject heading, don't type anything; leave it blank.
-
In the body of the letter, include only the following:
subscribe "listserv_name" "your name"
Note: Where it says
"listserv_name," put the listserv name and where it says "your
name," put your first and last name (not your e-mail address). For example,
to subscribe to a listserv entitled "DDPDISC," a student named Mary
Jones would type the following:
subscribe DDPDISC Mary Jones
- Send the message without a signature
- You will be mailed a confirmation and a short message about the use and nature
of the listserv. It is important that you keep this message as it tells you how
to unsubscribe from the list. Consider making a hardcopy of the confirmation
message. If you do not receive a confirmation shortly after subscribing or if
you experience difficulties, please e-mail the list manager (usually the
instructor of the course).
You only need to subscribe once, to get on the list. Any messages you send to
listserv_name@listproc.wsu.edu will be sent to all.
How to Send a Message to a Listserv
Once you have been mailed a confirmation about your subscription to the
listserv, you are able to send messages to the listserv. To do this, follow
these steps:
- Address a new e-mail message to the following (be sure to put in
the listserv name):
listserv_name@listproc.wsu.edu
For example, to send a message to the "DDPDISC" listserv you would
type the following address:
DDPDISC@listproc.wsu.edu
- Send your e-mail message as usual, including a subject, body, and signature if
you wish.
- It will now reach everyone that is on the list including yourself (since you are
subscribed to the listserv as well).
How to Unsubscribe from a Listserv
To unsubscribe from a listserv, follow these steps (You must know the name of the listserv from
which you wish to unsubscribe before you can start. An example would be listerv_name.):
- Make sure that you are using your own e-mail program and/or settings (so that
your e-mail message says that it is from your e-mail address and not someone
else's). Address an e-mail message to the following:
listproc@listproc.wsu.edu
- In the Subject heading, don't type anything.
- In the body of the letter, include only the following:
unsubscribe listserv_name
- Send the message without a signature
