CHANGE   MSOD-L | new_e-mail_address

From your OLD e-mail account you can direct the server to change your subscription to a new e-mail address.  This form of the CHANGE command can be used by any subscriber and results in a cookie being sent to the new address. This cookie MUST be confirmed by the new address, exactly as it was entered, or the command will fail.  Note:  this assumes that the user still has the ability to send mail from the old address.

  • listname   
Change address for the specified list
  • *        
Change address for all lists on that server

 
for example to change your subscription address from say VP@enron.com to ODwiz@hotmail.com
  

REMEMBER you MUST DO THIS FROM YOUR OLD ACCOUNT !!!


 

 SIGNOFF MSOD-L |

The SIGNOFF command allows the user to cancel his or her subscription to lists. SIGNOFF requires a qualifying parameter, as follows:

  • listname   
Sign off of the specified list
  • *        
Sign off of all lists on that server

the following is an example to Un-Subscribe from MSOD-L :

 


SET   MSOD-L  options        Update your subscription options
        --- ( click on an underlined Command topic to see more information  )

the  DIGEST  | INDEX    and   NODIGEST  | NOINDEX   options control the format in which messages should be delivered.

- DIGEST: enable digest delivery mode (which negates INDEX), enable mail delivery.
- INDEX: enable index delivery mode (which negates DIGEST), enable mail delivery.

- NOMAIL: disable mail delivery.
- MAIL: restore mail delivery, without altering the digest/index/normal delivery setting

- REPro : ListServer includes sending a copy to you of your postings (only if not DIGEST or INDEX mode set)
- NOREPRO: (default) if receiving postings as individual messages you will not receive a copy of your postings
-  note: you will receive a copy if receiving DIGEST or INDEX mode messages ...


DIGESTS  ---

There is a Digest form of this list (as there are for most LISTSERV lists).

The SET MSOD-L DIGEST command causes the subscriber to receive one e-mail per digest cycle (which is currently daily unless no messages are received) with all the messages received by the list during that cycle instead of the individual messages as they are processed by LISTSERV.

You set your Subscription for MSOD-L to digest mode by sending a message to the Server

    LISTSERV@msod.pepperdine.edu

   in the body of the e-mail send the following:

     SET MSOD-L DIGEST

---- its that simple .... and to cancel the digest mode ???

     SET MSOD-L  NODIGEST

 an example might look like:


INDEX

There is an Index form of this list (as there are for most LISTSERV lists).

The SET MSOD-L  INDEX command causes the subscriber to receive one posting per digest cycle (which is currently daily unless no messages are received) containing only an index of subject topics for all messages during that cycle -- you have to request individual messages ... obviously for the more digitally adventurous.


You set your Subscription for MSOD-L to index mode by sending a message to the Server

    LISTSERV@msod.pepperdine.edu

   in the body of the e-mail send the following:

     SET MSOD-L INDEX

---- its that simple .... and to cancel the index mode ???

     SET MSOD-L  NOINDEX

------------------

SET  MAIL | SET NOMAIL

controls whether the ListServe messages should be delivered, ( like when you go on vacation or your e-mail has been disconnected and temporarily you don't want the mail ) ( WARNING:  if your e-mail program AUTOMATICALLY sends out an "out of the office" or "on vacation" reply message to each e-mail it receives -- the SERVER "HATES" getting such mail and eventually will disable your account!!!!)

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE to Temporarily Stop Receiving Messages:

to permanently un-subscribe from a list  -- see the signoff command 



------------------

SET  REPro | SET NOREPro

controls whether the ListServe messages should send you a copy of the messages you post.  If you are not receiving the DIGEST or INDEX  formats the default is to NOT send you a copy of your postings (NOREPro).  

If you receive individual e-mail messages for each post to MSOD-L and want to receive a copy of your posts you need to send the SET MSOD-L REPRO command to the LISTSERVER ...
