Commands for Requesting Information
In order for a user to get information about lists on a particular host, or
to subscribe to lists on a particular host, the user must send a request
addressed to imailsrv@domain.com (where domain.com is the
name of the host). This e-mail address is a built-in IMail alias that
lets users:
- Get general help about the list-server for a particular mail host
- Get specific help about a particular list
- Get a list of all the lists available on a particular mail host
- Get a list of all the subscribers to a particular list
- Subscribe to a subscriber list
- Unsubscribe from a subscriber list
Format of Requests
Requests addressed to imailsrv@domain.com must contain a
list-server command and (when appropriate) a list name in the
body of the message. The following commands may appear in the
body of the message:
- Help
- Help listname
- List
- List listname
- Subscribe listname your_name
- Unsubscribe listname your_name
The following examples assume there is a list named beer on a mail
host named domain.com.
The commands for requesting information are the
following:
- To get general help from the list server:
TO: imailsrv@domain.com
Subject: help
- To display the names of all of the lists on the IMail server:
TO: imailsrv@domain.com
Subject: list
- To get a list of users subscribed to a specific list:
TO: imailsrv@domain.com
Subject:list beer
- To get help for a specific list:
TO: imailsrv@domain.com
Subject: help beer
