Product: Version: Platform:

Question/Problem: List server Usage:

How to SUBSCRIBE:
To subscribe to the list, send mail to imailsrv@your_domain.com
In the body of the message enter:

subscribe your_list 'Your_Name'

How to UNSUBSCRIBE:
To be removed from the list, send mail to imailsrv@your_domain.com
In the body of the message enter:

unsubscribe your_list

The list will send a confirmation message to the return address from which you sent the subscribe (or the unsubscribe) message.

How to set/reset DIGEST MODE:
To switch to digest mode, send a message to imailsrv@list.ipswitch.com with no subject, and the phrase, "SET MODE DIGEST your_list" in the body of the message. No quotes are needed. IMail's List Server understands multiple commands in an email message, so this could be the second line in your subscribe message.

To switch from digest mode to standard mode, send a message to imailsrv@list.ipswitch.com with no subject, and the phrase,
"SET MODE STANDARD your_list"

How to POST A MESSAGE (after subscribing!):
Simply send your message to your_list@your_domain.com It will be sent out to each member of the list. If you reply to a list message, your reply will be posted to the list. If you want to reply only to the sender of a message, you'll have to send to his or her address.
