Subscription Confirmation:
You must reply to your subscription confirmation message to complete your subscription. The purpose of this confirmation procedure is to check that the address LISTSERV is about to add to the list for your subscription is reachable.
This is a typical procedure for high-volume lists and all new subscribers are subjected
to it - you are not being singled out. Every effort has been made to make this
verification as simple and painless as possible.
To confirm the execution of your command, simply reply to the message you received and
type "ok" (without the quotes) as the text of your message. Just the word "ok"
- do not retype the command. This procedure will work with any mail program that fully
conforms to the Internet standards for electronic mail.
If after sending your reply you receive an error message, try sending a new message to LISTSERV@MSOD.PEPPERDINE.EDU (without using the "reply" function - this is very important) and type "ok your_confirmation_number " as the text of your message. (where your_confirmation_number is the number you can find in the subject line of your Command Confirmation Request message.
example: ok A2706B00
Finally, your command will be cancelled automatically if LISTSERV does not receive your
confirmation within 48 hours. After that time, you must start over and resend the command
to get a new confirmation code. If you change your mind and decide that you do NOT want to
confirm the command, simply discard the present message and let the request expire on its
own.
