Subject:      Getting Off the List

Hi, Everybody:

     Since I've noticed several people asking for information about things
like signing off, etc. I went back into my files and found some information
that Matthew sent out some time ago.  I will append it to this message, and
fill in the few additional details that I know.

Subject: Some commands

      Here is a list and description of some commands for Listserv.

      I stole this list from somebody else's mail.
      This will be appended to the Welcome Letter
    ********************************************************
        Each list server has two e-mail addresses, each for a different
purpose. You send command to the list server address and messages to
the group address.

        To subscribe, send the following command to
        LISTSERV@acadvm1.uottawa.ca via mail or interactive message:
                SUB List-L your_full_name
        where "your_full_name" is your name. (NOT your network userID ).
        For example
                SUB PSYCGRAD John Doe

        Useful commands:
                Signoff PSYCGRAD        unsubscribes you from the list
                Index PSYCGRAD          sends a list of the available
                                        archive files
                Get PSYCGRAD filetype   retrieves selected file (but this
                                        method does not work for people
                                        using computers under UNIX (as
                                        someone explained to me that's
                                        because the files are too big and
                                        cannot get through the gateways
                                        but if you are working under VMS
                                        everything should work just fine)
                Review PSYCGRAD         returns the network address and
                                        the names of all subscribers (if
                                        not restricted)
                Info genintro           retrieves 'General Introduction
                                        Guide'
                Set PSYCGRAD nomail     temporarily cuts off the mail
                                        delivery
                Set PSYCGRAD mail       reinstates mail delivery
                List global             sends a list of all lists known to

                                        the server

Also important: if you have Internet address, mail to Listserver on its
                Internet address, not on its Bitnet address.

     One of the reasons that many people have trouble getting off the list is
that they are sending to the wrong listserv address.  If you signed up on the
Bitnet address and then try to get off using Internet, you will get error
messages, and vice versa.  Review Listserv will give you the information
about which Listserv address you used (I think, but could definitely be
wrong), or at least give you the id you used to signon.  If you have tried
EVERYTHING, I'd suggest that you set Psycgrad to NOMAIL until Matthew returns
and can help you out.  That way, you can get the digest, but all other
individual items will be suppressed.

     I don't know if it would work, but maybe a e-mail letter to the
POSTMASTER at UOTTAWA about the problem could get you some assistance.

     Hope this helps.
