Subscribing to a ListServe

You can subscribe to a listserve by either clicking here or you can do it manually by following the directions below. You MUST enter the list name after the word subscribe. Do not include @Mercer.EDU in the list name. :

1. To manually subscribe to a list, compose an e-mail message to Mailserv@Mercer.EDU
2. The subject of the message may be left blank
3. The text of the message must contain the following two lines:

subscribe listname
end

(Substitute listname with the name of the list to which you wish to subscribe)
For example, to subscribe to a list named TestList-L, you would enter the subscription commands as follows:

subscribe TestList-L
end

(Please note that character case (upper/lower) does not matter. It is used here for readability purposes only)

4. Click Send to send the message
5. If you have followed the previous steps correctly, you will receive a subscription confirmation message. Once you receive the confirmation, you may send messages to the list by addressing them to listname@ Mercer.EDU
