It is important to be clear about the distinction between these two addresses, otherwise you could become frustrated in your attempts to unsubcribe from a list, while participants might become annoyed by your sending commands to the submission address. Article submission addresses are provided to those who subscribe to mailing lists, as part of the subscription confirmation email, mentioned above. Where possible, I have provided the name and email address of the owner or moderator of the mailing list. If you are having any difficulties, you should contact them. There are various types of software that automate mailing list administration .
Different software responds to different commands.
I have summarised the subscription commands for the most commonly-encountered mailing list software below. Once you have subscribed, your confirmation message from the server will detail the other commands recognised by its particular software. It is a good idea to keep these messages for future reference. Again, you can optionally include your email address, in the same manner as above. If all else fails, you can always send a help message to the subscription address.
