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
